Uncertainty Looms as US Tariffs Stir Global Concerns

In a recent statement, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda expressed deep concerns over the unpredictable nature of US tariffs and their potential ripple effects across the global economy. Speaking at the conclusion of the Group of 20 finance leaders' meeting in South Africa, Ueda underscored the widespread apprehension among nations regarding the current economic outlook.

Monitoring the Horizon: Ueda emphasized the Bank of Japan's commitment to closely observing the developments in US trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs. The aim is to gauge their impact not only on global growth and financial markets but also on Japan's domestic economy. "The high level of uncertainty surrounding the global economic outlook was a common concern among many countries," Ueda remarked, highlighting the collective unease felt by global leaders.
