Bank of Japan: The Bank of Japan will raise interest rates to 0.75% in December, followed by an interest rate hike every six months

BlockBeats News, December 5th, Bank of America economist Takayasu Kudo wrote in a report that after the Bank of Japan raised the target interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% at the meeting on December 18th to 19th, it is expected to continue raising the policy rate every six months.
