The Bank of Japan (BOJ) board voted unanimously to hike interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 0.75%—a 30-year high—at the conclusion of its latest policy meeting on 19 December. The move was widely expected and had been priced into Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) rates before the decision. The unanimous vote follows a 7-2 split when the BOJ kept rates on hold in October, signalling that policy views among board members have become more aligned.
