Gold, Silver And Platinum Extend Record‑setting Rally

At the Monetary Policy Meeting held today, the Policy Board of the Bank of Japan decided, by an 8-1 majority vote, to set the following guideline for money market operations for ...

Japan’s economy is likely to continue growing moderately, with overseas economies returning to a growth path, and as a virtuous cycle from income to spending gradually intensifies, supported by factors such as the government’s economic measures and accommodative financial conditions, while the economy is projected to be affected by trade and other policies in each jurisdiction. The year-on-year rate of increase in the consumer price index (CPI. all items less fresh food) is likely to decelerate to a level below 2 percent in the first half of this year, with the waning of the effects of the rise in food prices, such as rice prices, and partly due to the effects of government measures to address rising prices. However, it is likely that the mechanism in which wages and prices rise moderately in interaction with each other will be maintained, and that underlying CPI inflation will continue rising moderately. Thereafter, since it is projected that a sense of labor shortage will grow as the economy continues to improve and that medium- to long-term inflation expectations will rise, it is expected that underlying CPI inflation and the rate of increase in the CPI (all items less fresh food) will increase gradually and. in the second half of the projection period, be at a level that is generally consistent with the price stability target.
