ChainThink report, December 24: Minutes from the Bank of Japan's October policy meeting indicate that one member stated inflation expectations among businesses and households have reached 2%, underscoring the need to remain vigilant against price escalation risks. Another member emphasized that fiscal policy is a critical factor in setting economic and inflation forecasts.


A minority of members noted that core inflation is gradually accelerating but has not yet reached 2%. One member suggested Japan may achieve the central bank's inflation target by early next year, at which point wage growth may be necessary to meet the goal.
