日本銀行は、12月18日から19日に金利を0,5％から0,75％に上げるかもしれません。
The Bank of Japan may raise interest rates from 0.5% to 0.75% between December 18 and 19.
。
Many people believe that this is highly likely.
。
When interest rates rise, the Japanese yen usually tends to strengthen.
。
Recently, import prices have been soaring due to the depreciation of the yen.
。
If the yen appreciates, import prices may decrease.
。
However, when interest rates rise, various problems also occur.
。
For example, mortgage interest rates will also rise.
。
Because mortgage repayments will increase, the number of home buyers may decrease.
。
Furthermore, the interest rates for companies to borrow funds will also increase.
。
Companies may find it more difficult to invest in new projects, which could slow down the pace of economic growth.
。
On the other hand, there are also advantages for people who deposit money in banks.
。
Since deposit interest rates are also rising, it will become easier to save money.
。
However, if everyone doesnt spend much money, the economic situation may get worse.
。
In this way, a rate hike by the Bank of Japan not only affects the yen exchange rate, but also impacts home loans, corporate debt, and even the overall economy.
。
We need to pay attention to future developments.
