**Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates Again**

The Bank of Japan has made a decision to increase interest rates by another 0.25 percentage points.

This move brings interest rates to their highest level in three decades, as the country continues to grapple with inflationary pressures.

Inflation in Japan has surpassed the 2% target for an unprecedented 44 consecutive months, reaching 2.9% in November.

**Weak Yen and Inflation**

The yen remains weak, fluctuating around 154-157 yen per US dollar, adding to the concerns about inflation.

Despite this, real interest rates remain negative due to low nominal rates of 0.75%, which is lower than current inflation levels.

**Monetary Policy Remains Supportive**

The central bank's emphasis on keeping monetary policy supportive suggests it aims to encourage consumption and investment rather than hoarding cash.

This move was somewhat anticipated by the market, with investors expecting further rate increases in 2026, potentially bringing rates closer to 1%.
