PANews reported on December 19 that according to Jinshi, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said that Japan's economy is recovering moderately, but there are still uncertainties and signs of weakness in some areas. Prices continue to be high, and the impact of foreign exchange on prices is greater than before, and companies' expectations for wage and price increases have increased. He stressed that more information on wage trends is needed, and the easing policy will be adjusted according to the economic and price outlook. The decision to maintain interest rates unchanged mainly considers wage trends and uncertainties in the overseas economy. In addition, he did not rule out the possibility of using unconventional monetary policies in the future, and said that he would closely monitor the developments in the financial and foreign exchange markets.
