BOJ Keeps April 2026 Rate Hike on Agenda Despite Iran Crisis Concerns

Published: Mar 5, 2026 18:12
Source: SMM
Although the recent market turmoil triggered by the Iran crisis once led investors to scale back expectations for policy tightening, the Bank of Japan still viewed the April 2026 policy meeting as a key window for a rate hike and did not remove it from the agenda. At present, Bank of Japan officials were on high alert, focusing on assessing further developments in the Middle East situation and their potential disruption to Japan’s domestic inflation trajectory and economic recovery process.
