英國央行貨幣政策委員會：支持維持利率不變的成員認識到，如果出現明顯的二次效應跡象，則需要提高利率，但如果風險持續減弱，策略可能會發生變化。

Japan Prime Minister Takaichi has decided to temporarily cut the consumption tax on food and soft drinks from 8% to 1% effective April next year, NHK reports. The move implements an LDP‑coalition pre-election pledge (originally to cut the rate to 0% for two years); the government settled on 1% after retailers said a zero rate was incompatible with cash‑register systems. The decision follows months of political gridlock and may bolster Takaichi's support.
