“The timing of various monetary policy changes is very important,” Akazawa said in a press conference. “It’s important that they are aligned with our policy priorities such as exiting from deflation and growth in wages and investments.”

He added that Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda share this view.
