The decision of the Bank of Japan on the interest rate will be published at 05:00 (GMT+2). It is expected that the indicator will remain at the level of -0.10%, at which it has been held since 2016. At the same time, the head of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, expressed concerns about the low exchange rate of the national currency, which threatens financial stability and economic growth (the yen has been trading at 20-year lows for several months). In the accompanying statement and at the press conference of the head of the department, the officials' vision of the current state and prospects of the Japanese economy in the context of geopolitical tensions can be voiced, as well as hints on further actions of the bank in the field of national monetary policy.
