日本央行行长上田和夫表示,日本经济预计将更接近实现可持续稳定的2%通胀,同时工资也将上涨。在一次演讲中,他解释说,由于经济仍在向稳定的通胀迈进,央行将保持宽松的货币政策,目前将政策利率保持在中性水平以下。上田表示:“如果经济活动和价格继续改善,我们将需要提高政策利率并相应调整货币宽松政策。”。这位央行行长强调,这些调整的速度和时机将取决于经济产出、价格和金融状况。他还重申了评估国内和全球风险的重要性,以评估其对日本经济前景、价格和实现通胀目标的可能性的影响。
Japan's economy is expected to move closer to achieving sustainable and stable 2% inflation, accompanied by wage increases, according to Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. In a speech, he explained that as the economy is still progressing toward stable inflation, the central bank will maintain its accommodative monetary policies, keeping the policy rate below the neutral level for now. "If economic activity and prices continue to improve, we will need to raise the policy interest rate and adjust monetary accommodation accordingly," Ueda stated. The top central banker emphasized that the pace and timing of these adjustments will depend on economic output, prices, and financial conditions. He also reiterated the importance of assessing domestic and global risks to evaluate their impact on Japan's economic outlook, prices, and the likelihood of meeting its inflation targets.
