In recent statements, Governor of the Japanese Central Bank, Tsukasa Tagami, emphasized the significance of gradual and timely interest rate hikes. He stressed that, given the widespread anticipation of incremental increases in rates, the central bank should exercise caution and adopt reasonable steps to adjust interest rates. This approach is aimed at maintaining stable economic growth and mitigating potential financial risks. Tagami believes that such timely adjustments can effectively guide market expectations, prevent excessive volatility in financial markets, and promote healthy and sustainable economic development. Currently, multiple countries and regions around the world are exploring paths to interest rate hikes. The stance of the Japanese Central Bank reflects its sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions and its forward-thinking approach to monetary policy.
