[Bank of America: The Bank of Japan will raise interest rates to 0.75% in December and then increase it every six months] According to a report by Bank of America economist Takayasu Kudo, after the Bank of Japan raises the target interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% at its meeting on December 18-19, it is expected to continue to raise the policy interest rate every six months. He stated: "Based on recent developments in corporate earnings, 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 rates at the upcoming December meeting." This economist anticipates that the Bank of Japan will raise rates in June 2026, and then continue to raise rates in January and July 2027. (Golden Ten)
