According to Jinshi, on September 20, data released by Japan showed that the core CPI annual rate in August was 2.8%, accelerating for the fourth consecutive month and exceeding the central bank's target of 2%. The outside world expects the Bank of Japan to keep the interest rate unchanged at 0.25% at the policy meeting. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said that if inflation continues to hit the target and wages grow steadily, the central bank is ready to raise interest rates further.
