According to Kyodo News, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will hold its monetary policy meeting from October 29 to 30, where it will make an official judgment on whether the inflation rate has reached its long-term target of 2%. If the target is confirmed to be met, it will mark a symbolic turning point for Japan's nearly 14-year anti-deflationary policy framework. The market expects the policy interest rate to remain unchanged at 1.25% at this meeting, with the key focus being on the policy statement rather than the rate itself.
