[Crédit Agricole: Bank of Japan May Slow Down Rate Hikes Next Year, Around Every Six Months from 2027] (1) Crédit Agricole stated in a report that the Bank of Japan may slow down its rate hikes next year after temporarily accelerating the pace of rate increases due to inflation concerns triggered by rising oil prices. (2) The French bank stated that faster rate hikes driven by external factors, while domestic demand remains weak, are expected to put pressure on economic expansion. (3) The bank stated that slower GDP growth and a potential drop in oil prices should stabilize inflation, leading to a slower pace of policy tightening from 2027 onwards, with rate hikes roughly every six months. (4) Crédit Agricole stated that the government led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi may tolerate gradual rate hikes, accompanied by strong expansion of investment.
