With the Bank of Japan's Monetary Policy Meeting on the 29th and 30th approaching, Nobuyasu Atago (愛宕伸康), head of the Rakuten Securities Economic Research Institute, said in an interview that he would seek to assess the outlook for future rate hikes through the Outlook Report.

The Bank of Japan will decide its future monetary policy stance at a meeting from the 28th onward. After the rate hike in September, the prevailing market view is that policy will remain unchanged, and attention is focused on the next decision.
Nobuyasu Atago (愛宕伸康), head of the Rakuten Securities Economic Research Institute, reportedly said in an interview with Hirotoshi Kubozono (窪園博俊), special editorial adviser at Jiji Press, that this was the time to assess the impact of the September rate hike and that he expected policy to remain unchanged.
The wording on upside risks to prices and other matters in this Outlook Report was cited as a means of gauging the Bank's future rate-hike policy.
