The International Monetary Fund endorsed the Bank of Japan’s policy normalization, while also urging Japan to adopt a medium-term fiscal framework to address market concerns about fiscal risks. Separately, the Bank of Japan raised its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 percent in September. This action followed August service-sector inflation rising to 3.7 per cent year-on-year.

The IMF’s endorsement signals support for the Bank of Japan’s approach to tightening policy, though the IMF warned that faster rate hikes may be necessary if inflation exceeds forecasts.
