According to Jinshi data reports, the Bank of Japan is taking unusual measures, indicating its efforts to improve communication, which may raise market expectations for interest rate hikes next month. Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya will give a speech to local business leaders in Yokohama on January 14 and hold a press conference. This is the first time since 2013 that such an event has occurred, providing an opportunity to convey monetary policy views ahead of the first annual policy meeting. An increasing number of economists expect the Bank of Japan's borrowing costs to rise.
