The IMF anticipates that the Bank of Japan will increase interest rates at a slightly faster pace than previously expected, projecting a gradual rise towards a neutral rate of about 1.5% by the end of 2027. Japan's economy is expected to grow 1.2% in 2025, slowing to 0.7% in 2026 and 0.6% in 2027. Inflation is predicted to moderate and align with the BOJ's 2% target as commodity prices ease. The BOJ's next policy meeting on April 27-28 is under scrutiny, with market volatility due to the Middle East conflict affecting economic forecasts.

IMF expects pace of Japan's interest rate hikes to speed up slightly

Japan's Minister of Trade, Akizawa Ryo, stated that using monetary policy to strengthen the yen is one of the options to suppress rising prices. The Bank of Japan is considering raising interest rates to address inflation, and Akizawa agrees with economists' suggestions to strengthen the yen to offset rising crude oil import costs. He pointed out that the Bank of Japan's 2% inflation target is close to being achieved, while real interest rates remain low. Financial markets expect about a 60% chance that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates on April 28

Japan's corporate goods price index (CGPI) is projected to remain steady at +2.0% year-on-year in March, matching February's rate, while month-on-month it is expected to rise by +0.8%. Rising energy costs, particularly due to tensions in the Middle East, are influencing these figures. Despite a recent easing in producer inflation, the CGPI has maintained a streak of increases for 61 consecutive months. The government’s subsidies are expected to help stabilize prices, particularly in the oil sector, while rice prices have shown a notable slowdown.
