The Bank of Japan lifted its key short-term rate by 25bps to 1.0% in a 7-1 vote at its June meeting, marking the highest level since September 1995 and aligning with market expectations. The decision aimed at preventing the Iran war-driven energy shock from fueling broader inflation. The move also marked the central bank’s first rate hike since December and its first regular policy meeting without the governor in attendance. Board member Asada Toichiro dissented, citing greater downside risks to production and employment than upside risks to prices. In its policy statement, the board said underlying inflation could accelerate above 2% target amid rising energy costs. It also noted that financial conditions would stay accommodative despite the rate hike, continuing to support economic activity. Policymakers stated that they will continue raising rates as warranted by economic, price, and financial developments, while closely monitoring the Middle East conflict’s impact on the economy.
