Former BOJ economist Seisaku Kameda tok say di new US-Iran peace deal no go change Bank of Japan plan for rate hikes. Dem dey expect BOJ go raise im short-term policy rate reach 1% on June 16, 2026—di highest level for 31 years. Kameda talk say di decision na because of Japan domestic inflation and di need to normalize policy after years wey real interest rates dey abnormally low. E expect say more small-small tightening fit continue, maybe go reach Q4 2026, mean say 1% na waypoint no be di highest limit. BOJ don dey face stagflation pressure (weak growth, sticky inflation), and Kameda say geopolitics no go derail dat path.
