4月28日，日本央行将基准利率维持在0.75%，这是该行连续第二次会议维持利率不变。此前，伊朗战事导致霍尔木兹海峡关闭，引发油价飙升。政策委员会以6比3的投票结果通过此项决定，显示出未来可能采取鹰派立场。
此前，日本央行曾在3月19日因中东局势初步不明朗而决定维持利率不变。这是各国央行应对地区紧张局势影响石油供应及全球经济增长趋势的一部分。
日本央行在声明中强调了中东冲突带来的风险，并指出日本对进口石油的严重依赖——全球贸易石油中约20%需通过目前已关闭的霍尔木兹海峡。汽油价格的飙升正威胁到温和的经济增长。
据《日本时报》报道，尽管有鹰派信号，但仍有三名持异议的成员推动收紧政策。消息公布后，东京日经225指数下跌超过1%。
此次利率决策正值美国联邦储备委员会和欧洲各央行本周召开会议之际，各方在面临地缘政治风险时延续了谨慎的政策立场。
