Japan’s Economy Minister Ryosei Kiuchi said the government is not pushing for lower interest rates, underlining its respect for the independence of the Bank of Japan. The remarks suggest that Tokyo views monetary policy as a matter for the central bank, not political pressure.

Kiuchi’s comments may bolster expectations for a gradual normalization of BOJ policy, provided inflation and growth continue on a stable trajectory. Market participants are watching for any shift away from the current ultra-loose stance.
