According to foreign media reports, former Bank of Japan (BOJ) Chief Economist Toshitaka Sekine said that the escalating war in Iran has heightened upside inflation risks, providing justification for the BOJ to raise interest rates as early as this month.

He added that based on the current assessment of the situation, April would be an appropriate time to take action, as by the end of April it should be possible to determine whether the impact of developments in the Middle East will be temporary.

Traders currently see about a 70% chance of a rate hike when the BOJ holds its meeting this month. However, many BOJ watchers noted that the final decision will depend on how the Middle East situation evolves, as Governor Kazuo Ueda has pledged to closely monitor both upside and downside inflation risks.

Sekine said he believes upside inflation risks are greater. If the central bank fails to fulfill its mandate of stabilizing inflation due to political factors, the cost could be substantial, as financial markets may react strongly. This could likely trigger heavy selling of the yen by foreign investors, leading to further depreciation of the Japanese currency. (mn/w)~
