Benki Kuu ya Japan ilipandisha kiwango chake cha riba cha msingi kwa pointi za msingi 25 hadi 1.25% tarehe 18 Septemba 2026, ikisukuma gharama za mikopo hadi kiwango cha juu zaidi katika miaka 31. Bodi ya sera ya benki kuu iliidhinisha ongezeko hilo kwa kura 7-2 mwishoni mwa mkutano wa siku mbili, huku wajumbe wawili waliopinga wakipendelea kasi ya polepole zaidi ya udhibiti.

Hatua hiyo ilitarajiwa sana na masoko, huku takribani asilimia 90 ya wachumi waliohojiwa na CNBC kabla ya mkutano wakitabiri ongezeko hilo. Inaashiria hatua ya hivi karibuni zaidi katika mchakato unaoendelea wa Benki Kuu ya Japan wa kurejesha sera ya fedha katika hali ya kawaida, mchakato ulioanza Machi 2024 wakati benki kuu ilipomaliza viwango vya riba hasi na hatua nyingine za kipekee za kulegeza sera.

Watunga sera walitaja wasiwasi unaoongezeka wa mfumuko wa bei, ikiwa ni pamoja na kupanda kwa bei za nishati, shinikizo la ugavi duniani, na mfumuko wa bei wa ndani unaozidi lengo la asilimia 2 la benki, kama vichocheo vikuu vya uamuzi huo. Kwa kushangaza, ongezeko hilo lilikuja miezi mitatu tu baada ya ongezeko la awali la riba la benki kuu, ikilinganishwa na pengo la miezi sita kati ya ongezeko za awali, ikionyesha kuwa kasi ya udhibiti inazidi kuongezeka.
