The chance of raising interest rates is very large, but the interest rate hike should not be large, about 0.125%to 0.25%.
Mai Cui explained that because Japan had implemented a "negative interest rate" policy in the past, which greatly issued government bonds, and the national debt has surpassed its GDP 200%, so even if Japan's interest rate hikes can only be added to inflation, it can only be slightly added without a large amount, not greatly not to greatly.add.The Japanese government will not have any pressure under the "negative interest rate" policy, but if Japan raises great interest rates, its government will bear a lot of financial pressure.
