Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates to Highest Level Since 1995 Amid Yen Weakness

16 Haziran 2026CNBC

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has raised interest rates to 0.75%, marking its highest level since 1995. This decision comes as the yen continues to struggle at historic lows.
The hike is the first since December and reflects ongoing challenges in the Japanese economy.
Japan has faced prolonged economic stagnation and low inflation, making the recent rate hike a significant departure from its historically accommodative stance. The yen's depreciation has raised concerns about import costs and overall economic stability.
The BOJ's decision to increase rates indicates a shift in monetary policy aimed at stabilizing the yen and combating inflation. However, the effectiveness of this move remains to be seen, especially given the global economic pressures that may continue to affect Japan's export-driven economy.
