BOJ set to raise interest rates to 31-year high as inflation risks loom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TOKYO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan is set to raise interest rates to a 31-year high on Friday and signal readiness to keep pushing up borrowing costs, joining other major central banks in fighting persistent inflation pressures driven by soaring oil costs.

TOKYO, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Japan's government is set to finalise on Tuesday an outline for a consumption tax cut and payouts to households with no mention of how to fund the measures, a move that may keep alive market concerns over the nation's already strained finances.

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina, Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he believes Japan's government and central bank will take action that leads to a stronger yen, CNBC reported on Monday, signaling a strong chance of a Bank of Japan interest rate hike in September. The remarks followed those by Bessent on Sunday, when he told Reuters he expects BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda to "do the right thing" on monetary policy to combat yen declines.
