Evgeny Gromov The Bank of Japan maintained its short-term policy rate at 0.75% during its April 2026 meeting, though the decision saw a notable shift in board sentiment. In a 6–3 vote, dissenters Hajime Takata, Naoki Tamura, and Junko Nakagawa broke from the majority to propose an immediate hike to 1.0%, citing upside risks to inflation from the Iran conflict. Reflecting these pressures, the BOJ raised its FY2026 core inflation outlook to 2.8% (from 1.9%) and downgraded its growth forecast to 0.5%, as rising energy prices begin to weigh on the moderate recovery. At the same time, policymakers said the FY2025 GDP projection was slightly lifted to 1.0% from 0.9%, lifted by last year’s trade deal with Washington.
