Bank of Japan Gov. Kazuo Ueda said Monday there has been “more proactive movement” recently in the setting of corporate wages and prices.
In a speech delivered in Osaka, Ueda said the key expectation is for wage increases to contribute to a gradual rise in prices, creating a positive cycle. He also noted that as the economic recovery progresses, “it is highly likely that intense competition for talent will increase the growth in wage hikes.”
