Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker May 1 (Jiji Press)--Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda on Thursday warned that underlying inflation in the country will slow temporarily due to the impact of U.S President Donald Trump's steep tariffs on the Japanese economy "We're not thinking of raising interest rates forcibly when inflation is slowing," Ueda told a press conference after the central bank held rates steady at a policy meeting "Corporate profits will be pushed down by slowing overseas economies and the pace of economic growth will slow." In addition "There could be an impact on winter bonuses and next year's 'shunto' wage talks." The BOJ pushed back the estimated timing of stably achieving 2 pct inflation to the latter half of its projection period through fiscal 2027 from the latter half of the previous projection period through fiscal 2026 but the timing of an interest rate increase will not necessarily be delayed in the same way," Ueda said hinting that the BOJ will raise rates once uncertainty over Trump's trade policies is removed and no one seemed to have more fun doing it.  Lincoln is the latest guest on The Nine Club, and this one’s full of stories, history, and stoke.

Get there!  By Brian Blakely is a Writer for TransWorld SKATEboarding Bank of Japan chief Kazuo Ueda said Thursday that the central bank remains on track to pursue additional interest rate hikes despite economic uncertainty from U.S tariffs prompting it to lower its growth and inflation outlooks The BOJ revised down the forecasts as it factored in tariff levels imposed by U.S President Donald Trump that "cannot be ignored," even though Tokyo has been urging Washington to rethink the policy Ueda said at a press conference following the central bank's two-day policy meeting Trump's erratic and aggressive trade policy makes it difficult for the tariffs' effects to be fully reflected in the projections and they are highly likely to be revised later the BOJ maintained its short-term policy interest rate at around 0.5 percent for the second consecutive meeting In its latest quarterly outlook released after the policy meeting the BOJ said it now expects to stably achieve its 2 percent inflation target in the latter half of the three years through March 2028 -- a year later than its January forecast which projected the goal would be met in the second half of the three years through March 2027 Ueda said the delayed timeframe does not necessarily mean the next rate hike will be pushed back The prospect for the next rate hike will likely move "back and forth" as the economic outlook could always change the central bank said it expects the Japanese economy to grow 0.5 percent in the current fiscal year that started in April compared with its earlier projection of a 1.1 percent expansion are projected to rise 2.2 percent in fiscal 2025 against the 2.4 percent forecast in January dollar following the release of the report slipping to the 144 range from the lower 143 zone as expectations for an early BOJ rate hike receded Economists say the central bank seeks to raise the policy rate to curb demand-driven inflation as households have been feeling the pinch of rising prices outpacing pay growth chief economist at the Norinchukin Research Institute said the BOJ revised down its growth and inflation forecasts "significantly," adding that the BOJ may make its rate hike in September or October With the central bank shifting away from its ultraloose stance the BOJ has raised the key rate three times since March last year when it carried out its first hike in 17 years and ended the decade-long framework of unconventional monetary easing the BOJ said Japan's real gross domestic product is projected to grow 0.7 percent in fiscal 2026 revised down from the 1.0 percent expansion followed by 1.0 percent growth in fiscal 2027 Core CPI is projected to climb 1.7 percent in fiscal 2026 The bank released its forecasts for fiscal 2027 for the first time

Her experiences inspired her to study nutrition and medical sciences at UD’s College of Health Sciences.  “I want to help people through disordered eating and promote body positivity and positive relationships with food,” Ueda said The first-generation college student from New York City chose UD because she dreamed of a suburban college campus outside the hustle and bustle of NYC It was so different from my home environment with tall skyscrapers,” she said Her nutrition courses taught her essential therapeutic techniques “Nutrition and medical sciences allowed me to build a solid knowledge base,” she said “Anatomy and physiology are so important to patient care.”  She also pursued a secondary passion through a minor in disability studies inspired by her personal experience with an individualized education plan (IEP) “I want to better advocate for patients with physical and emotional differences,” she said “The world has a lot of work to do around accessibility.”  “I let myself eat whatever I want — quite literally,” she said “I pay more attention to when I’m hungry versus eating for boredom or convenience I listen to my body and don’t punish myself Ueda contemplated medical school and wanted to return to the city she enrolled in an accelerated nursing program at New York University (NYU) nurses had the greatest impact on my care and wellbeing," she said she graduated from NYU with a bachelor of science in nursing and plans to pursue an advanced nursing degree “I aspire to be an advocate for youth because of how desperate I was for someone to advocate for me when I struggled with my eating disorder as a teenager,” she said “I am also interested in nutrition research and want to change health policy and address concerns within the nursing field.” She’s also realized how vital her nutrition degree is in healthcare “Nutritional knowledge is a huge part of developing an accurate and beneficial nursing plan,” she said “I use the processes I learned at UD each time I admit a patient.”  While at UD, Ueda found a mentor in Alisha Rovner associate professor of health behavior and nutrition sciences Rovner inspired me to look beyond the classroom and live out my previous experiences to turn them into something positive for future colleagues and patients,” she said “I want to be that kind of mentor for my future patients.”  Rovner is proud to see Ueda pursuing her dreams and touted the versatility of UD’s nutrition and medical sciences (NMS) degree “The NMS degree helps prepare students for various potential fields and other allied health fields,” Rovner said “Seeing Karin take the challenges she had with her eating disorder and turn it into something positive is admirable I know that she will be a phenomenal nurse and her life experiences and background in nutrition will be of great benefit.” Ueda also made lifelong friendships and connections “The world has so many kind and wonderful people and it wasn’t until I came to UD that I experienced that,” she said “UD has an incredible network of alums striving to make this a better place using their expertise and knowledge.”  She encourages current Blue Hens to take chances Saying yes to Greek life was a stretch for me but I met many wonderful people; saying yes to my minor in disabilities helped me connect with experts whose knowledge I will carry with me moving forward,” she said She adds that a simple “hello” can go a long way “Say ‘hi’ to the person next to you,” she said “A fellow UD classmate who was a health behavior science major ended up attending NYU nursing school with me You never know who your future colleagues may be.”  Ueda reconnected with her love for dance after returning to New York she enjoys teaching kids and bringing positive energy to the art form that once consumed her passion and the importance of working hard for what you believe in,” she said “These are some of the most important life lessons I’ve learned in my career.”  See More Stories Contact us at ocm@udel.edu Contact us at 302-831-NEWS or visit the Media Relations website Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information 2025 at 3:19 AM EDTBookmarkSaveTakeaways NEWBank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda highlighted growing uncertainties stemming from tariff measures while also reiterating the BOJ’s existing policy stance that it will raise the benchmark interest rate if its economic outlook is realized “Japan’s economy and inflation have moved in line with our outlook so far,” Ueda said in a speech at a financial conference in Tokyo Wednesday we must be duly careful about heightened uncertainties over other countries’ trade policies in particular.” 2025 at 3:10 AM EDTBookmarkSaveBank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated he’s not too concerned about the recent ascent of the nation’s benchmark yield to the highest since 2008 “My understanding is that the rising trend since last year reflects the market’s views on the economy and inflation or shifts in interest rates overseas,” Ueda said Wednesday morning in response to questions in parliament “There is no major gap between our views and the market’s.” Essential digital access to quality FT journalism on any device Complete digital access to quality FT journalism with expert analysis from industry leaders Complete digital access to quality analysis and expert insights complemented with our award-winning Weekend Print edition Terms & Conditions apply Discover all the plans currently available in your country Digital access for organisations.
