CoinVoice has learned that Bank of America economist Takayasu Kudo stated in a report that after the Bank of Japan raises its target interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% at the meeting on December 18-19, it is expected to continue raising the policy interest rate every six months.

He stated: "Based on recent developments in corporate profits, wage negotiations, the depreciation of the yen in the foreign exchange market, and dialogues with the government, the Bank of Japan is becoming increasingly convinced that it can raise interest rates at the upcoming December meeting."

This economist expects the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates in June 2026, followed by further increases in January and July 2027.(金十)[Original link]
