News Summary:
Bank of Japan board members pointed out that it is crucial for the Bank of Japan to maintain ultra-loose monetary policy and seek a balance between labour supply and demand. Japan has achieved a wage increase that has never been seen in the past through spring wage negotiations. The key is to continue to maintain a moderate balance between labour supply and demand and achieve the 2% price target by continuing to implement loose monetary policy. Japan must achieve positive wage inflation cycle as soon as possible; service prices must continue to rise.
