On April 17, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated to reporters in Washington after attending the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, "The current situation involves significant shocks from rising energy prices. This brings both upward risks to prices and downward risks to the economy." Ueda emphasized the challenges faced by policymakers who need to address the price risks and economic downturn risks triggered by conflicts in the Middle East. He did not provide clear signals regarding interest rates ahead of the policy decision announcement later this month. Ueda remarked, "This is why policy responses are very difficult. It is not easy to give a general answer." This may be his last opportunity to signal the market before the interest rate decision on April 28. In addition to deciding the benchmark interest rate, next week's meeting will also release the latest economic forecasts, which are expected to revise inflation outlooks upward, while growth forecasts may be downgraded. "Overall, considering factors such as the duration of the shocks and other economic conditions, we will ultimately choose the most appropriate response to continuously achieve the 2% inflation target," Ueda told reporters. "However, if I may add, in Japan's case, even looking at the medium term, real interest rates remain very low," Ueda stated. "In this sense, the financial environment is highly accommodative. Taking this into account, we hope to continue making various decisions."
