Sompo Economist: Bank of Japan Has Not Abandoned Tightening Stance, Continues to Signal Further Rate Hikes

Gate News Report, March 19 — Masato Koike, senior economist at Sompo Research Institute, stated that the yen’s weakness remains a factor influencing the market, despite existing risks. The Bank of Japan continues to hint at a commitment to further rate hikes. Even considering differing opinions among committee members (including Takada So and Tamura Naoki), this stance remains evident. Overall, the clearest message is that the Bank of Japan has not abandoned its tightening stance. Regarding financial markets, the BOJ believes that it is difficult to push for rate hikes when market conditions are highly unstable. Current market volatility, along with escalating tensions in the Middle East, may not alter its basic policy. Koike said he will closely watch how Governor Ueda adopts a firmer stance in the press conference and how he responds to questions about his relationship with the Takashi government.
