Quick Glance: Bank of Japan Meeting: Impact of Ending Negative Rates on Global Equity Market Volatility
- The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 0 to 0.1% for the first time in 17 years, signaling the end of the negative interest rate regime in Japan.
- Japanese companies are expected to propose significant wage increases to pave the way for the Bank of Japan to remove negative interest rates.
