President of the Central Bank of Japan: Monetary conditions are still relaxed, so we want to continue to raise interest rates

The Governor of the Central Bank of Japan, Shida and Man, stated that there had been no major change in monetary policy thinking. As we have accumulated five policy interest rates upwards so far, we need to look closely at the impact that cumulative effects will have on the economy. Monetary conditions remain liberal, and we therefore hope to continue to increase interest rates. Monetary policy will be discussed taking into account the risk of price escalation. It was to be hoped that the next meeting would discuss whether the economic scenario would be more likely to be realized and whether the risk of inflation would increase。
