In order to raise interest rates, does the Bank of Japan leave a door open? The Bank of Japan stays put as scheduled, but raises inflation forecasts beyond expectations.

According to the International Financial News APP, the Bank of Japan has maintained its benchmark interest rate unchanged, and raised inflation expectations, exceeding market expectations, indicating that the Bank of Japan may soon take a tightening measure. At the same time, the central bank still warned that it is still evaluating the impact of President Trump's imposition of tariffs. According to a statement released on Thursday, the Bank of Japan unanimously voted to keep the overnight call rate at 0.5% at the end of a two-day policy meeting, in line with expectations.
