Haruhiko Kuroda implied that the Bank of Japan still has a long way to go to reach the neutral interest rate.
Former Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has put forward a rough view on Japan's neutral interest rate, suggesting that the bank has a significant room for interest rate hikes in the process of policy normalization. Kuroda, speaking via video link at the Bund Financial Summit held in Shanghai on Friday, said that the Bank of Japan's attempt to gradually approach the nominal neutral interest rate may be lower than 2%. He said that the short-term nominal interest rate may be lower than 2%, perhaps around 1.5% or even lower. The neutral policy interest rate is considered to be a level of interest rates that neither restricts nor stimulates economic growth. According to the median expectations from a survey conducted last week, economists expect the Bank of Japan to raise its benchmark interest rate during the current tightening cycle.
