REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights TOKYO, March 14 (Reuters) – The Bank of Japan has started to make arrangements to end its negative interest rate policy at the March 18-19 meeting, Jiji news agency reported on Thursday. A number of major firms this week announced wage hikes above those of 2023, heightening expectations that the rosy pay trends will give the central bank leeway to make the key policy shift. Sources have told Reuters that the central bank will debate the end of its negative rate policy next week if Friday’s preliminary survey on big firms’ wage talks outcome yield strong results. The BOJ will make a final decision on what would be the first rate hike in Japan in 17 years after reviewing Friday’s preliminary wage survey result, Jiji said. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Central Banks Boost Gold Reserves to Diversify from the Dollar READ MORE Anticipation Ahead of Fed Meeting Leads to Decline in Treasury Yields READ MORE Three factors why gold will glitter in 2024 READ MORE World Gold Council: Gold Demand Trends Full Year 2023 READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
