The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has decided to maintain its key interest rate at 0.25% per annum, as widely anticipated by economists and market analysts. This decision signals the central bank's continued commitment to supporting the country's fragile economic recovery amidst global headwinds and inflationary pressures. The BOJ's decision aligns with its long-standing accommodative monetary policy stance, which aims to stimulate economic growth and combat deflation. Despite rising inflation in Japan, the central bank believes that maintaining ultra-low interest rates is necessary to support businesses and households and promote sustainable economic expansion.
