Says

  • Tight labour market, firms' active wage, price-setting behaviour will keep in place a cycle in which wages and prices rise in tandem.
  • Temporary freeze on food sales tax may briefly push down inflation, but is likely to have a limited impact on inflation expectations.
  • Will guide monetary policy appropriately to stably achieve the inflation target, accompanied by wage gains
  • To conduct policy for stable prices with wage growth

Context

Governor Ueda's comments suggest a hawkish tilt, indicating expectations for moderate inflation acceleration alongside a supportive wage growth cycle. This signals a commitment to guiding monetary policy to achieve stable prices, likely reinforcing a gradual tightening path that could influence JPY and fixed-income markets as inflation expectations remain resilient despite potential short-term impacts.
