Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino said the central bank remains committed to further interest-rate increases, though the timing and pace will depend on how the conflict in the Middle East affects Japan’s economy and inflation. Speaking before a parliamentary committee on Tuesday, Himino emphasized that Japan’s real interest rates are still “at extremely low levels,” and reiterated that the BoJ will “continue to raise the policy rate and adjust the degree of monetary accommodation in accordance with economic, price, and financial developments.”
He stopped short of indicating when the next rate hike might occur, noting that policymakers are carefully monitoring how geopolitical tensions in the Middle East feed through to economic activity and prices. Himino also underlined that the central bank is aiming to preserve market confidence by managing monetary policy appropriately and securing the stable achievement of its inflation target.
