The Bank of Japan (BOJ) plans to uphold its 2% inflation target despite potential long-term impacts from climate change, as stated by Governor Kazuo Ueda. Ueda emphasized the importance of closely monitoring how climate change and government green initiatives might influence inflation expectations.
