TOKYO (Kyodo) -- The Bank of Japan will continue to raise its policy rate from the current level of around 0.25% if the economy and prices move in line with expectations, Gov. Kazuo Ueda said Monday.
His remarks came amid speculation that the central bank may implement a hike as early as December, while he said the BOJ will make policy decisions at each meeting based on its latest assessment and outlook for economic and price activities.
