It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to this conference. As Governor Ueda mentioned in his opening remarks, the Bank of Japan is conducting the “Broad Perspective Review” of our monetary policy over the past 25 years. In short, it has been a battle against persistent deflation and a battle with the zero lower bound. Let me start by giving an overview of the inflation picture during this period. Please look at Chart 1. Japan’s deflation started in the late 1990s and continued for 15 years. The average inflation rate was just minus 0.3%. It was a mild but persistent deflation. To tackle this situation, the Bank introduced the 2% price stability target and Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing, or QQE, in 2013, and a negative interest rate policy and Yield Curve Control, or YCC, in 2016. As a result, we succeeded in achieving a situation without deflation, but the average inflation rate was 0.5%, which fell short of our 2% goal. Recently, inflation rate has risen to around 3%, following the gl post: BOJ DEPUTY GOVERNOR UCHIDA: DEFLATIONARY BATTLE NEAR CONCLUSION post: BOJ DEPUTY GOVERNOR UCHIDA: BANK OF JAPAN OVERCOMES ZERO LOWER BOUND post: UCHIDA: CHALLENGE REMAINS TO ANCHOR 2% INFLATION post: BOJ'S UCHIDA: HIGHER MENU COSTS, TOGETHER WITH MILD INFLATION, HAVE SLOWED THE PACE OF PRICE ADJUSTMENT

The aim of this speech is to examine inflation in the euro area. In the next section, I review the various inflation indicators tracked by the ECB. Subsequently, I discuss the implications for monetary policy. Chart 1 shows the evolution of headline and core inflation since 2019. Let me focus on the disinflation patterns since August 2023 (the month immediately prior to our last rate hike at our September monetary policy meeting). Inflation declined from 5.2 per cent last August to 2.4 percent in April, while core inflation decreased from 5.3 per cent in August to 2.7 per cent in April. Chart 2 shows the relative contributions of the major categories: energy; food; goods; and services. Services inflation now accounts for the vast bulk of the overall inflation rate. In turn, this reflects the non-uniform dynamics: while the other categories have seen major declines, with the April data indicating energy inflation running at -0.6 per cent, food inflation at 2.8 per cent and goods inflation at 0.9 per cent, services inflation was still elevated at 3.7 per cent. post: ECB'S LANE: JUNE RATE CUT APPROPRIATE IF INFLATION OULOOK HOLDS post: ECB’s Lane: Inflation Expected To 'Bounce Around The Current Level' Over The Coming Months post: ECB’S LANE: THE OVERALL MESSAGE ON WAGES IS BUMPY.
