Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda gave the clearest hint yet that the central bank’s next monetary policy meeting will involve a live discussion over whether to raise interest rates.
“It’s impossible to predict the outcome of the meeting at this point,” Ueda said in response to questions at a Europlace forum in Tokyo on Thursday. “The next meeting is December, but there’s still a month to go. The vast amount of data and information will become available between now and then.”
