Wakatabe Masazumi, a former deputy governor of the Bank of Japan and a member of the Government Policy Group, said that Japan must raise neutral interest rates through fiscal policies and growth strategies. If Japan's neutral interest rate were to rise due to fiscal policy, it would be natural for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates. However, at present, the Bank of Japan should avoid raising interest rates too soon and tightening monetary policy excessively. Wakatabe Masazumi is a member of the government team hired by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
