A Bloomberg survey shows that analysts and economists expect the Bank of Japan may not raise interest rates again until summer, with 56% of respondents anticipating the next increase will occur in July, 9% believing it will happen in June, and 18% predicting it will be in September.
The survey indicates that the central bank may pause interest rate increases for a period, then raise the rate to 0.75%, which would be the highest level since 1995. Respondents noted that a weak yen could potentially lead to an earlier rate hike, with about 45% believing that in a risk scenario, the earliest time for the next rate increase would be in April.
