BoJ Raises Rate to 1.25%: Highest Level Since 1995
The Bank of Japan (BoJ), in Friday's decision, raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, marking the highest level since 1995 and coming after its last hike in June. The decision was made in a 7-2 vote, with dissenting members Toichiro Asada and Ayano Sato voting to hold the rate steady; the BoJ said it acted against the risk of inflation deviating above its 2% target.
