Japan's Central Bank Holds Rates, but Shifts Policy

Japan's Central Bank Holds Rates, but Shifts Policy

The Bank of Japan, which controls the money in Japan, decided to keep interest rates the same.

This means the cost of borrowing money won't change for now.

Even though inflation is slowing down, it's still higher than the bank's target.

They are also starting to sell off some of the investments they bought earlier to help the economy.

Some people think the bank might raise rates later this year, while others think it will not change the big picture.

The decision was made as the country is seeing a new leader.
