At its two-day policy meeting, which concluded on October 30th, the Bank of Japans board of directors voted 7-2 to maintain the current interest rate. The minutes released on Monday (November 6th) showed that one member noted that "the conditions for further normalization of the policy rate are likely largely in place," while emphasizing the need to examine potential inflation trends. These minutes suggest that the nine-member board of directors is increasingly inclined to believe that the next interest rate hike is imminent, consistent with Governor Kazuo Uedas recent statements that "action may be taken in the coming months." With almost all market observers expecting the bank to raise borrowing costs no later than January next year, the focus has shifted to whether the rate hike will occur on December 19th or in January of the following year.
