Decizie istorică în Japonia - Cel mai ridicat nivel din ultimii 31 de ani pentru dobânda de politică monetară - Economica.net

The Bank of Japan raised its policy interest rate to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, amid inflationary pressures and yen depreciation. This follows similar actions by the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve. The increase marks an unusual pace of rate hikes for the BoJ, which had previously maintained low rates for years. Despite a slight decrease in inflation, the BoJ is concerned about rising oil prices due to renewed conflicts in the Middle East. The yen has weakened significantly, prompting intervention from U.S. and Japanese authorities. The BoJ is considering further rate hikes as inflation approaches its target.
