BOJ retains upbeat financial view on seven of Japan’s 9 areas

TOKYO, Apr 20 (Reuters) –
The Bank of Japan maintained its upbeat financial evaluation for many areas on Thursday, saying wage hikes have been broadening, underscoring its conviction that the nation was on a path to sustainably meet its inflation goal of two%.

In a quarterly report analysing regional economies, the central financial institution left unchanged its evaluation for seven of Japan’s 9 areas, which have been “picking up” or “picking up moderately”, it added.

“Many regions said wage hikes were broadening, even among small and mid-sized firms due to intensifying job shortages and rising inflation,” the financial institution stated in a abstract of a gathering of its regional department managers.
