As the conflict between the US and Iran escalates, the Bank of Japan hints that it will not raise interest rates in March.

03/02 05:46

Ryozo Himino, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan, did not give any clear signals about a rate hike in the short term in his latest remarks on Monday. Influenced by the conflict that broke out in the Middle East last weekend, this move further reinforces the existing expectations in the financial market—that the Bank of Japan policymakers will choose to stand pat at this month's monetary policy meeting. After the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, the global economic outlook has become even more uncertain. Himino's statement suggests that the possibility of a rate hike at the Bank of Japan's policy meeting on March 19 is very slim.
