The Governor of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) declared that the central bank is prepared to raise interest rates when necessary to stabilize inflation.
According to information just released, the head of the BOJ affirmed that the central bank will adjust interest rates as needed to bring inflation back to a stable level, signaling a direction of continued monetary tightening if price developments require it.
