The Bank of Japan raised its interest rate by 25 basis points to 0.75% on Friday, marking its highest level in 30 years, following a two-day monetary policy meeting. This move is the second interest rate hike this year, after the one in January, and the first under Prime Minister Sanai Takayachi's tenure, who has called for an expansionary fiscal policy while maintaining monetary ease. The increase comes as part of the central bank's recent steps towards normalizing monetary policy after ending its negative interest rate policy in March 2024. The yen has seen a sharp decline since Takayachi took office due to market concerns over the country's economic outlook.
