🇯🇵 Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates to 1.00%, Highest Level Since 1995 The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has officially raised its short-term interest rate from 0.75% to 1.00%.


While the increase may appear modest, it marks a historic moment for Japan, bringing interest rates to their highest level since 1995.
🔸 The BOJ cited growing inflation risks driven by:
• Rising energy prices
• Geopolitical tensions
• Wage growth
• Higher consumer prices
🔸 The central bank also announced plans to reduce the amount of Japanese government bonds it purchases each month.
This means less liquidity injected into the economy and could push bond yields even higher.
🔸 For decades, Japan maintained near-zero interest rates — and even negative rates at times — while aggressively buying bonds to stimulate the economy and fight deflation.
That era now appears to be ending.🇯🇵 Japan is no longer fighting deflation.
It is now fighting inflation.
