Former Bank of Japan Exec Director says Bank of Japan unlikely to raise rates this month

  • The BoJ meet July 30 and 31

Hideo Hayakawa is a former Bank of Japan Executive Director and now a Senior Fellow at the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research.

He spoke in an interview with Bloomberg, saying “I don't think there's a chance of a rate hike in July”:

  • The Bank of Japan is unlikely to raise interest rates this month
  • Will instead cut its bond buying a little more than expected to avoid any fueling of yen weakness

Bloomberg is gated.
