Experts say the Bank of Japan will not move on its policy rate as it views the spike in inflation as temporary.

Food inflation, especially rice prices, is a major factor behind the rise in inflation.

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time since 2018 in March 2022 .

Japan 's exports in May declined 1.7% year over year , marking the sharpest decline since September 2024 .

The country's gross domestic product also declined for the first time in a year .

Raising rates could strengthen the yen, which would make Japanese exports less competitive and restrict growth.
