0646 GMT - The Bank of Japan's summary of opinions released earlier Thursday shows that government representatives showed little concern over the risk of higher inflation at the bank's September meeting, says Daiwa Securities economist Kento Minami. "Instead, the focus appears to be on the cumulative impact of past rate hikes, as well as economic and market stability. This suggests that the government prioritizes the broader impact of interest-rate hikes on the economy and financial conditions over addressing upside inflation risks," he says. "While the government accepted the September rate hike itself, that does not mean it has condoned an acceleration in the pace of future rate increases," he adds.
