Japan's Prime Minister Sannae Takaichi's advisor, Honda, has indicated that the government may not necessarily appoint a pro-reflationist to fill the vacancy on the Bank of Japan's committee. According to Jin10, Honda suggested that the Bank of Japan might see room to raise interest rates this year. However, it is unlikely that a rate hike will occur in March. This insight comes amid ongoing discussions about Japan's monetary policy and its potential adjustments in response to economic conditions.
