米欧の金融政策注視　ＩＭＦイベントで植田日銀総裁

　【ワシントン時事】日銀の植田和男総裁は２３日、米ワシントンで国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）のイベントに登壇し、経済・物価情勢を展望するに当たり、「米国や欧州の金融政策を注視している」と述べた。利上げ局面にある日銀と利下げに転じた米欧の政策の方向性が異なることを踏まえたもので、「他国の政策変更がわが国の経済・物価に大きな影響を及ぼすことがある」との認識を示した。（2024/10/24-08:16）

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said Wednesday that the BOJ is watching monetary policies in the United States and Europe "very carefully" in forecasting economic and price trends in Japan.
   Monetary policy changes in other countries could sometimes have "significant effects" on Japan's economy and inflation, he said at an event held by the International Monetary Fund in Washington.
   His remarks came at a time when the BOJ has begun to raise interest rates while the central banks in the United States and Europe are moving for monetary easing.
   "We've been, for the last couple of months, worried about what might happen to the U.S. economy going forward," Ueda said, noting that U.S. employment data "have been moving around" and that the BOJ has therefore "yet to determine what the medium-term trend is" for the world's biggest economy.
   Stock prices showed wild fluctuations after the BOJ's Policy Board decided an interest rate hike in late July. On this, Ueda stated, "I could say that there was a period in July, where there was no communication, explicit or formal communication, between board members and the market or the media."
