According to ChainThink, on December 1, Japanese Bank Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated that Japan's economy is recovering moderately, with inflation expected to temporarily fall below 2% in the first half of the 2026 fiscal year before accelerating again. He noted that the trend of simultaneous wage and price increases is strengthening, and the impact of exchange rates on prices is growing. To achieve price stability, the Bank of Japan will adjust its accommodative policy as needed. If economic and price conditions continue to improve, the central bank will consider further rate hikes.
