The Bank of Japan's June policy meeting minutes showed a consensus among most board members that the economy is progressing in line with the central bank's baseline scenario.
However, the minutes highlighted a shared concern about upside risks to inflation, with members noting that underlying price pressures could overshoot the BOJ's 2% target.
The revelation offers a glimpse into the board's thinking ahead of future policy decisions, though the baseline assessment suggests no immediate shift in the BOJ's accommodative stance.
