The Bank of Japan began a two-day policy meeting on Wednesday, and analysts expect it to keep interest rates unchanged.
The central bank has held the benchmark rate at around 0.5 percent for five straight meetings, citing uncertainty over the impact of US import tariffs on Japan&#039;s economy.
Some BOJ board members believe the tariffs have had a limited effect because there has not been any major drop in corporate performance or profit outlook since they were imposed.
Many policymakers reportedly want to wait for more clarity on the state of the US economy. The partial shutdown of the federal government has delayed data on the impact of tariffs.
The policymakers say they also want to confirm moves by Japanese businesses to raise wages next year.
At the previous meeting in September, two out of the nine BOJ board members advocated raising rates. They are expected to make the same call again this time around.
