Japan’s bank lending rises fastest since COVID-19, backing BOJ’s path

Japan's banks have seen the fastest increase in lending since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to recent data. This trend supports the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) current monetary policy approach. Despite raising its benchmark interest rate last month under Governor Kazuo Ueda, the central bank maintains that financial conditions are still accommodative. The rise in lending suggests continued economic activity and confidence in the banking sector.
