Mumbai, Nov. 20 -- The Bank of Japan could raise interest rate from the current low levels to avoid unintended distortions in the future, board member Koeda Junko said Thursday. The results of the Bank's September 2025 Opinion Survey on the General Public's Views and Behavior showed that around 70 percent of respondents feel that prices have gone up significantly compared with a year ago, he noted. Prices in Japan have recently been rising faster than the rate of underlying inflation. It is necessary to closely monitor whether the contribution of temporary supply-side factors to the increase in the CPI will diminish as expected.
