Bank Of Japan Considers Benchmark Interest Rate Policy
The Bank of Japan is widely expected to keep its policy rate unchanged at its upcoming monetary policy meeting. The move was reported by Bloomberg Radio. The Bank of Japan revised its economic growth outlook for fiscal year 2026 downward from 1% to 0.5%. The Bank of Japan maintained interest rates unchanged in a 6-3 vote, according to a report from BCC News Taiwan. Conversely, the bank raised its core inflation forecast to 2.8% from a previous level, exceeding the 2% policy target. The decision reflected internal divergence regarding future policy direction. The central bank also raised its core inflation forecast to 2.8% from a previous 1.9%, which is above the 2% target. Interest rates remained unchanged at 0.75% in line with market expectations. The announcement was made on Tuesday.
