The Bank of Japan (BOJ)'s Monetary Policy Board decided at a meeting to keep the unsecured overnight interest rate in the 0-0.1% range, and to continue purchases of Japanese government and corporate bonds as decided at its March meeting.

At the same time, the Board voted 8 to 1 to reduce purchases of Japanese government bonds to ensure that long-term interest rates are more freely formed by the financial market. The central bank will collect views from market participants and decide at the next meeting the total amount of bond purchases to be reduced in the next one to two years.

BOJ commented that Japan's economy is recovering moderately, despite weakness in some areas. The external economy as a whole grew moderately, with exports and industrial production broadly unchanged, but recently continued to be affected by the suspension of production and deliveries by some automobile manufacturers. In addition, corporate earnings have improved, fixed investment is on a moderate uptrend, employment and incomes have improved moderately, private consumption is firm, and housing investment is relatively weak.

On the price front, with YoY inflation recently at 2-2.5% and service prices continuing to rise moderately, reflecting factors such as rising wages, inflation is expected to rise moderately, even though the transmission effect of higher costs on consumer prices due to higher import prices has weakened.

BOJ forecasted Japan's economy to keep growing at a rate higher than its potential growth rate, with the external economy continuing to grow moderately and the virtuous cycle of income and expenditure strengthening under accommodative financial conditions. The central bank predicted YoY inflation excluding food prices to continue to rise in FY25 as the government's measures to push down inflation fade. A gradual rise in real inflation is also expected in anticipation of an improvement in the output gap and higher medium- to long-term inflation expectations.
