updates: Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda maintains that the economy is on track for a moderate recovery and suggests that the slump in first-quarter GDP alone will not prevent the central bank from raising interest rates in the coming months. Ueda also highlights the outlook for the U.S. economy as a key risk to growth, which will likely be discussed at the G7 finance leaders' meeting in Stresa, Italy. Japan's economy contracted by an annualized 2.0% in the first quarter due to output disruptions at some automakers and rising living costs. However, Ueda believes that auto production will recover from the second quarter onwards and inflationary pressure from rising raw material costs will dissipate. These remarks maintain market expectations that the BOJ will raise interest rates later this year. Ueda will attend the G7 finance leaders' meeting with Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki.

updates: Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda maintains that the economy is on track for a moderate recovery, despite a slump in first-quarter GDP. Ueda believes that the weak GDP data does not change the central bank's view on Japan's economy, as auto production is expected to recover in the second quarter. He also expects inflationary pressure to dissipate and rising nominal wages to support household income and consumption. Ueda's remarks suggest that the BOJ may raise interest rates later this year. Ueda will attend the G7 finance leaders' meeting in Stresa with Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki.

It reflects the bank's commitment to supporting the country's economic recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The bank's decision also comes as Japan's inflation data exceeds economists' expectations, signaling the potential for a revision of price projections in an upcoming economic report. However, the bank remains cautious about the global outlook and the need to maintain both yield curve control and negative interest rates for the time being. The Bank of Japan will continue to monitor wage growth and inflation expectations as it determines the timing for any policy shifts. Overall, the bank's decision to maintain negative interest rates underscores its commitment to supporting the economy during the holiday season and beyond.
