- On May 27, 2025, the head of Japan’s central bank addressed economic challenges in Tokyo, expressing confidence that the nation's economy can endure the impact of U.S. Tariffs and indicating a willingness to raise interest rates if necessary.

- He said if trade tensions ease and overseas growth resumes moderately, Japan’s economy will strengthen and inflation will gradually approach the BOJ's 2% target, supporting future rate increases.
