The Japanese Finance Minister stated that Ms. Komei herself has repeatedly requested her to clarify this position to overseas investors. This statement attempts to dispel the market’s perception that the Komei government interferes with the central bank or pursues a loose monetary policy. Last Wednesday, two committee members nominated by Komei opposed a Bank of Japan interest rate hike, further reinforcing the market’s view that the Japanese government tends to delay rate increases.
