On July 9th, former Bank of Japan official Tsutomu Watanabe stated on Wednesday that the Bank of Japan may accelerate its pace of interest rate hikes later this year, eventually pushing the benchmark interest rate above 2% to curb inflation. Watanabe said, "I believe the final peak of interest rates will be higher than most people currently expect. The terminal interest rate will be around 2%, or slightly higher." Watanabe added, "Policy should be thought about dynamically, not statically." He further stated that the terminal interest rate depends not only on the calculation of the neutral interest rate but also on factors such as inflation overshooting before the Bank of Japan explicitly tightens policy. Watanabe indicated that the authorities had previously adopted a "passive" policy approach, striving to achieve a virtuous cycle of wage increases driving demand-pull price increases. With underlying inflation approaching the 2% target, the committee may shift to a more proactive stance to prevent price overshooting. According to some local media reports at the time, Watanabe was among the potential candidates for Bank of Japan governor in 2023, alongside Ueda.
