BOJ Governor Ueda flags 2% inflation stabilization as focus, guides on future rate path

Bank of Japan Governor Ueda signaled that entrenching 2% inflation is now the policy priority, while indicating future rate hike timing will depend on FX moves, AI demand impacts, and Middle East developments. The BoJ will monitor these factors closely before adjusting policy further.

Ueda stated the central bank will continue raising rates as underlying inflation approaches the 2% target and financial conditions remain accommodative. #economie #banques_centrales #marche
