Yen Balance: BOJ's Tightening Strategy Under U.S. Scrutiny

  • 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.
  • Ueda attributed the situation to uncertainty over U.S. Tariffs imposed under President Trump, which threaten Japan's exports and may delay investments and wage growth.
  • He highlighted that Japan experienced economic decline in early 2023 and a deceleration in exports during April, adding complexity to the Bank of Japan's decision on when to implement the next interest rate increase.
  • Ueda noted that Japan’s economy faces challenges from new tariff measures impacting it in multiple ways, but emphasized that unusually strong corporate earnings provide resilience against these effects.
  • 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.
