10 Haziran 2026Financial Times

Kazuo Ueda, the 74-year-old governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), has been hospitalized and will miss the upcoming meeting where a crucial interest rate decision is anticipated. The central bank is expected to raise interest rates to 1%, marking a significant shift in monetary policy.
Ueda's absence raises concerns about the continuity of leadership during this pivotal moment for Japan's economy.
The Bank of Japan has maintained ultra-low interest rates for years to stimulate economic growth. However, rising inflation pressures have prompted discussions about tightening monetary policy.
Ueda's hospitalization comes at a critical juncture for the BoJ, as the anticipated interest rate hike could signal a new era of monetary policy in Japan. His absence from the meeting may lead to questions about the bank's decision-making process and could impact market confidence.
