A rate hike to 1.00% is widely expected in the upcoming June BoJ, while Governor Ueda will miss (and will not vote) at the meeting due to being hospitalised. The meeting will instead be chaired by Deputy Governor Himino, and the post‑meeting press conference will be conducted by Deputy Governor Uchida.
In both the policy statement and Deputy Governor Uchida’s press conference, delivered on behalf of Governor Ueda, markets will be looking for clues regarding the likelihood and timing of further rate hikes. In addition, as reported in a recent article by the Nikkei, market participants also want to reconfirm the Bank’s stance on halting reductions in government bond purchases from April 2027 onward.
Mizuho invites you to an in depth analysis of the Bank of Japan’s June Policy Meeting.
The discussion will be led by Shunsuke Kobayashi (Chief Economist, Mizuho Securities Tokyo), who will offer his expert interpretation of the BOJ’s decision, and moderated by Masayuki Nakajima (Senior Strategist, Mizuho International Plc and Mizuho Bank, Ltd).
We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a timely, insightful, and market relevant conversation.
