Bank of Japan September meeting opinion summary "hawkish voices abound": Most members advocate continuing to raise interest rates, some call for accelerating the pace.

Zhito Finance APP has learned that the summary of opinions from the Bank of Japan's September meeting shows that some policymakers believe it is necessary to accelerate the pace of interest rate hikes, or to bring rates close to the central bank's "target" as soon as possible, which has increased the possibility of further rate hikes. Most opinions hold that, amid rising inflationary pressure, it is necessary to continue raising borrowing costs after the September rate hike. One member was quoted as saying: "If signs of upward deviation in prices are observed, the central bank will need to accelerate the pace of interest rate hikes."
