Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda conveyed the central bank’s commitment to elevate interest rates if the nation’s economic resurgence remains on course. However, Ueda emphasized a rigorous, open-minded review of economic projections in shaping future policy moves.
During his address, Ueda indicated that current economic conditions and inflation trends align with the BoJ’s quarterly predictions.
