The story

The Bank of Japan released the minutes of its July Monetary Policy Meeting on the 28th. Although no final decision was reached, several members expressed the view that rate hikes should proceed.

Against a backdrop of concern about inflation risks, the members' comments emphasised the need to adjust the level of monetary policy rates flexibly in response to conditions.

The minutes are seen as reflecting the debate over whether rate hikes should proceed “flexibly” while keeping current inflationary pressures in view.
