[Bank of Japan Governor: Monetary conditions remain loose, so we hope to continue raising interest rates] According to a report by Golden Finance, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that there has been no major change in the approach to monetary policy. So far, we have raised policy rates five times cumulatively, and therefore, we need to carefully examine the cumulative impact on the economy. Monetary conditions remain loose, so we hope to continue raising interest rates. Monetary policy will be discussed in consideration of the risks of rising prices. We hope to discuss at the next meeting whether the likelihood of achieving the economic scenario has increased and whether inflation risks have intensified.
