BOJ set to raise interest rates to 31-year high as inflation risks loom - Reuters

The BOJ is preparing to increase interest rates to a 31-year high due to looming inflation risks. Simultaneously, the Fed is widely expected to raise its benchmark interest rate for the first time in three years to combat stubborn inflation. These monetary policy shifts are likely to increase borrowing costs for consumers, specifically affecting credit card balances and auto loans, as both central banks act to stabilize their respective economies against rising price pressures.
