💨 Abstract
The Bank of Japan raised its key policy rate to 0.75%, the highest in 30 years, in a move expected to impact global markets. This decision, made unanimously, follows years of near-zero rates aimed at combating deflation. The rate hike comes amid improved business sentiment and inflation pressures, despite Japan's recent economic contraction.
