Sometimes we will need to adjust interest rates in small incremental steps, as earlier in the year. And sometimes we will need to adjust rates more aggressively, as over the last couple of months. Different circumstances will require different responses.
In light of these changes and challenges, the Bank of Japan is working to support the development of sound financial services by, for example, improving financial literacy through the activities of the CCFSI, and promoting fintech, so that everyone can use financial services with confidence, even in an aging society. Thank you for your kind attention.
