[Institution: The Bank of Japan's Rate Hike Reason Signals a Shift in Policy Logic] Jin10 News, June 17 – Tetsuya Inoue, an economist at Sony Financial Group, stated that the Bank of Japan's decision to use inflationary risks as the reason for a rate hike marks a significant shift in its policy logic. This shift stands in stark contrast to previous rate hikes, where the Bank of Japan emphasized that adjustments to monetary policy were aimed at achieving the 2% inflation target in a stable and sustainable manner. Inoue pointed out that if the Bank of Japan lags behind in taking policy actions, it could trigger a surge in long-term bond yields, further weaken the yen exchange rate, and accelerate inflation.
