Featured Statements

“The possibility of sustainably and stably achieving the BoJ's 2% inflation target is within sight and is likely to continue to rise.”

“The BoJ will adjust the level of interest rates depending on the distance that separates us from achieving 2% inflation in a sustainable and stable way.”

“The decision to raise interest rates again this year will depend on the data.”

“If we are more convinced that trend inflation will approach 2%, it will be a reason to adjust interest rates.”

“If currency movements appear to have an impact on the wage-inflation cycle in a way that is difficult to ignore, we could respond through monetary policy.”

“No comment on recent currency movements.”
