- many in the bank likely prefer to spend more time determining whether wage increases will broaden enough to keep inflation sustainably at its 2% target, sources have told Reuters
-
“The chance of Japan seeing a positive wage-inflation cycle kick off is heightening,” said former top BOJ economist Seisaku Kameda. “The question is whether that will be sustained, which is something the BOJ probably wants to scrutinise,” Kameda said, adding he expects negative rates to end in March or April.
