The main opinions expressed at the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting held on 29 and 30 October were released. Some Policy Board members reportedly expressed the view that the next rate hike should be implemented when possible, without being excessively cautious. This indicates the view that the timing of a rate hike should be judged by seizing opportunities rather than taking an exclusively cautious approach. No specific details of the meeting's decision itself were mentioned.
