BOJ May Exit Wait-and-See Mode by End of This Year, Summary Says
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) may consider exiting its wait-and-see mode and raising interest rates by the end of this year, according to a summary of opinions from the bank's recent policy meeting. One BOJ board member suggested that the decision to raise rates could depend on the impact of US tariffs on the Japanese economy. The summary indicates that the BOJ is closely monitoring the effects of global trade tensions and is prepared to adjust its monetary policy accordingly. The BOJ has maintained its ultra-loose monetary policy for several years, but the board member's comments suggest that the central bank may be shifting its stance and considering a rate hike in the near future. This potential policy change reflects the BOJ's efforts to balance economic growth and inflation amid a rapidly evolving global economic landscape.
