flag Bank of Japan surprises economists by keeping interest rates unchanged at 0.25%, amid economic uncertainties.

flag The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept its benchmark interest rate at 0.25%, surprising economists expecting a 25 basis point hike. flag The decision follows concerns over Japan's GDP, which showed negative growth for the first two quarters of 2022, and only a 0.5% gain in the quarter ending September. flag Despite recent data showing October's inflation at 2.3%, the BOJ decided to maintain rates due to uncertainties in the economy. flag The yen weakened 0.3% against the dollar, trading at 155.42, a one-month low.
