Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda warns global markets are ‘unstable’: No change to central bank’s basic stance on monetary easing, Ueda tells parliament
ft.com/content/b168bb8d-227d-479a-81a4-93d07d6bf4f1
Quick Glance: Bank of Japan Governor Highlights Market Instability
- Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda cautioned that global markets are unstable while reaffirming his commitment to raising interest rates if Japan's inflation and economic growth remain on track. His remarks followed a period of significant market volatility, with the yen dropping to a historic low before surging over 10 percent.
- Ueda pointed out that recent volatility was largely driven by concerns about the US economy, stressing that both domestic and international markets remain unstable. The central bank's fundamental stance is unchanged, indicating a willingness to adjust monetary policy if economic and price developments align with forecasts.
- The July decision to raise the short-term policy rate by 0.15 percentage points to 0.25 percent was defended by Ueda as a reaffirmation of the positive economic outlook. He acknowledged that while Japan's short-term rates are still low, there is a push for normalization, and uncertainty about the ultimate interest rate level persists.
- Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki noted that the government has not officially declared an end to deflation, despite economists predicting modest rate increases by the BoJ in 2024. The July rate hike surprised many market participants and led to a significant rise in the yen, amid ongoing concerns about a potential US recession.
