| Περίληψη: | The article focuses on Japan's inflation trends in May and their implications for the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) monetary policy. Japan's core consumer prices, excluding fresh food, rose 1.4% year-on-year, supported by government subsidies, particularly fuel subsidies under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's administration, which have helped contain energy costs amid elevated oil prices. Despite these subsidies, inflationary pressures persist, especially in services and food prices, prompting expectations of further BOJ interest rate hikes, with the benchmark rate recently raised to 1%, the highest since 1995. The BOJ remains cautious about underlying inflation risks and signals a gradual policy normalization to meet its 2% inflation target. [Extracted from the article] |
