According to Jin Ten data reports, Motohisa Furukawa, the tax chief of the National Democratic Party of Japan, stated that the Bank of Japan is unlikely to suddenly change its policy to avoid affecting budget discussions. He pointed out that despite the risk of the economy falling back into deflation, a rapid interest rate hike is 'unimaginable.'
Motohisa Furukawa emphasized that premature interest rate hikes will have a negative impact on the private sector, households, and government finances, and believes that the effect of interest rate hikes on slowing the depreciation of the yen is limited. He stated that considering various factors, the Bank of Japan cannot rapidly raise interest rates.
