Interest rate hikes, tax increases, and job creation! #OECD releases first-ever special assessment of the Japanese economy in two years# On the 13th, the OECD released its latest analysis and policy recommendations review report on the Japanese economy. This is the first time in two years (since January 2024) that the OECD has released a dedicated assessment of the Japanese economy. It's worth noting that just over two years ago, Japan was still in an era of negative interest rates. At its December policy meeting last year, the Bank of Japan adjusted its policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level since September 1995. However, since the beginning of 2026, due to factors such as unforeseen geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, the Bank of Japan has held its rate steady for three consecutive years. Therefore, the question of whether the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates remains to be seen at its June policy meeting. A recent OECD report identifies several key challenges facing the Japanese economy, including an aging population, labor shortages, persistently high national debt, low productivity, and slow progress on structural reforms. Against the backdrop of rising prices and wages, the report urges the Japanese government and financial authorities to make "cautious adjustments" to their macroeconomic policies. [Link to webpage]

The Statement on Monetary Policy for the Bank of Japan's Monetary Policy meeting for June is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2026 (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm).
This market will resolve to the amount of basis points the upper bound of the short-term policy interest rate is changed by versus the level it was prior to the Bank of Japan's June 2026 meeting.
If the short-term policy interest rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded up to the nearest 25 and will resolve to the relevant bracket. (e.g. if there's a cut/increase of 12.5 bps it will be considered to be 25 bps)
The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website of the Bank of Japan (https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htm), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
This market may resolve as soon as the Bank of Japan's statement for the specified meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to the "No change" bracket.
