What happened, for context

Bank of Japan board member Kazuyuki Masu warned in a September 10 speech ahead of the BOJ's September 16-17 policy meeting that the central bank may be forced to raise interest rates rapidly if inflation accelerates, citing broadening price pressures and loose financial conditions. Masu indicated the BOJ should move real interest rates out of negative territory soon but gave no specific guidance on timing or pace of future hikes.
