According to this, the outlook for the consumer price index excluding fresh food in this year and 2022 is the median value of policymakers, which is 1.9% higher than the previous year.
Against the backdrop of soaring prices of raw materials such as energy, we have significantly increased the price from the previous increase of 1.1%.
In addition, we have decided to maintain the current large-scale monetary easing measures that ▽ short-term interest rates will be negative and ▽ long-term interest rates will be kept at around 0%.
