đš Important Global Economic Event â December 19, 2025 đš
Today, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced an increase in the interest rate to 0.75% â the highest level in over 30 years.
This step comes in the context of: âïž Facing inflationary pressures

đž And even crypto
â especially as investors await inflation data and policies in 2026.
