Yen stabilisation with gradual BoJ hikes
"We expect annual GDP growth to stand at 0.5% in 2026, down from 1.1% in 2025."
"Inflation has generally overshot the 2% y/y target since 2022 and is expected to stay there through at least 2028."
"Accordingly, the Bank of Japan initiated a process of “adjustment in the degree of monetary accommodation” in 2024, lifting the policy rate to 0.75% so far (previously negative)."
"We expect the process to extend, including one hike (25pb) in Q2 2026, until a 2.0% terminal rate in end-2027."
"We anticipate stabilisation of the yen and the GBP against the dollar in 2026 (USD/JPY 160 and GBP/USD 1.35 by Q4 2026) and 2027."
