Will the Bank of Japan be doing a victory lap this year in its quest to get inflation sustainably to 2%? And how far will it ultimately raise the policy rates?
As the preliminary results of this year’s Shunto wage negotiations are released on 14th March 2025, our economists will be online at 0800 GMT/1600 SGT to talk through the stunning turnaround in Japan’s inflation environment and the policy path ahead.
This 20-minute briefing is your opportunity to hear from the team about what the wage agreement signals about the inflation outlook and the potential BOJ response. They’ll be answering your Japan macro and market questions as they address key issues, including:
- What the Shunto results mean for the outlook for wage growth and inflation;
- How far the Bank of Japan’s tightening cycle has still to run;
- What this all means for the yen and JGB yields.
