He said, "Unless there is significant negative news and the yen remains at its current level, the probability of a rate hike in December is quite high. There is really no need to wait for stronger signals from wages, prices, or economic indicators." Monma added, "The weak yen is the biggest enemy of the governments measures to combat rising prices. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis high approval rating stems from public expectations of her addressing the cost of living issue, so the effectiveness of her measures is crucial to her governance. If the yen becomes an obstacle, she is likely to feel the need to curb its decline." However, Monma also indicated that he does not rule out the possibility that the central bank will wait until January next year to act, at which time it will have more data to confirm the momentum of wage increases next year and the resilience of the US economy.
