- 02:54Economist: Weak yen paves the way for Bank of Japan rate hike in December; further hikes likely if depreciation persistsAccording to Deep Tide TechFlow, on December 17, economist Alicia Garcia Herrero analyzed that the continued weakness of the yen is becoming the decisive factor for the Bank of Japan and the Japanese government to reach a consensus this month and support the long-awaited interest rate hike. Despite concerns about US tariffs and broader geopolitical risks, the Japanese economy has proven to be more resilient than expected. Short-, medium-, and long-term inflation expectations remain above the Bank of Japan's 2% target, which strengthens the case for further policy normalization. Food prices have pushed up the core inflation rate, and the yen has continued to weaken against the US dollar near 155, which may intensify imported inflationary pressures. Alicia Garcia Herrero expects the Bank of Japan to raise the policy rate by 25 basis points to 0.75% at its meeting on December 19. Looking ahead, if the yen fails to stabilize after the rate hike and continues to drag down real income, the Japanese government may also accept further policy tightening, which could open the door to another 25 basis point rate hike early next year.
