BoJ is seen as likely to raise its FY26 economic and inflation forecasts, Reuters reports citing sources; the report adds that some BoJ policymakers see scope to raise interest rates as soon as April due to the inflationary effect of a weaker JPY.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is anticipated to revise its fiscal year 2026 economic and inflation forecasts upward, driven by the effects of a weaker yen. Notably, some policymakers are considering the possibility of raising interest rates as soon as April, indicating a shift in monetary policy that could impact both domestic markets and global asset classes like currencies and commodities.
