Will Japan Sustain Rates Above 1%?
After decades of near-zero or negative rates, the Bank of Japan is slowly shifting toward normalization.
Why Rates Could Rise
Stronger wage growth, corporate reform, and stable inflation may force the BOJ into a long-term tightening cycle.
Why It May Fail
Japan's demographic collapse and slow consumption growth could keep inflation too weak for sustained hikes.
