金融正常化、息長い成長支援　利上げ是非、毎会合で判断―日銀総裁

　植田和男日銀総裁は１８日、名古屋市で講演し、「経済や物価の改善に合わせて、金融緩和の度合いを少しずつ調整していくことは息の長い成長を支え、物価目標の安定的な実現に資する」と述べた。その上で「毎回の金融政策決定会合で、経済・物価の現状評価や見通しをアップデートしながら政策判断を行っていく」と説明。今後の会合で、利上げの是非を判断していく考えを示した。
　７月に続く再利上げの時期に関しては「あくまでも先行きの経済・物価・金融情勢次第だ」と指摘。米国を含む海外経済や金融市場の動向などのリスク要因が「（日銀の）見通しが実現する確度に及ぼす影響を見極めていく必要がある」とした。
　植田総裁は、先行きを見通していく上で、「特にカギとなるのは、海外経済が緩やかな成長経路をたどるか、賃金上昇が続き、物価との好循環が引き続き強まるか、の２点だ」と語った。（2024/11/18-11:51）

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda on Monday said that monetary policy normalization will be implemented in a way that supports long-term growth of the Japanese economy.
   "Going forward, I think that gradually adjusting the degree of accommodation in line with improvement in economic activity and prices will support long-term economic growth and contribute to achieving the price stability target in a sustainable and stable manner," Ueda said in a speech delivered in the central Japan city of Nagoya.
   He indicated that the central bank in its future monetary policy meetings will decide whether to implement additional interest rate hikes.
   The BOJ "will make policy decisions based on its latest assessment of the current state of and outlook for economic activity and prices with reference to, for example, the data and information available at the time of each meeting," he said.
   On the possible timing of another interest rate hike to follow one implemented in July, Ueda said that such a move "will continue to depend on developments in economic activity and prices as well as financial conditions going forward."
