PDB Jepang kuartal IV 2025 direvisi naik menjadi 1.3% tahunan dari laporan awal 0.2% yang dilaporkan pada 16 Februari, didorong oleh pengeluaran bisnis yang kuat. Pengeluaran rumah tangga Januari untuk barang dan layanan swasta tetap stabil meskipun turun secara tahunan, dengan harga bensin ritel yang terkendali meredakan inflasi. Analis kini memperkirakan Bank Jepang akan mempertahankan suku bunga pada April dan menaikkannya pada Juni.

Tokyo's core consumer price index rose 1.8% in February, falling below the Bank of Japan's 2% target for the first time since October 2024. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's utility subsidies curbed household energy costs, posing a communication challenge for the central bank's planned interest rate hikes. The figure exceeded economists' median forecast of 1.7%.

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda signaled the likelihood of further interest rate hikes next year, expressing growing confidence that the central bank is nearing its sustainable 2% price stability target. In a speech Thursday at a conference hosted by business lobby Keidanren, Ueda noted that the goal, accompanied by wage increases, is steadily approaching. His remarks underscore investor expectations that the bank will continue hikes even after raising borrowing costs to the highest level since 1995 last Friday.
