Unknown Analyst's questions to Hitachi Ltd (HTHIY) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
An unknown analyst asked about the potential impact of the Bank of Japan's policy and interest rate changes on the business and for the company's view on the yen exchange rate.
Answer
An unknown executive stated that the impact from interest rate changes is expected to be limited for the current fiscal year, as gradual domestic hikes and potential delays in overseas rate cuts are already factored in. The executive noted that while the JPY 140/USD assumption has a gap with the actual rate, they do not expect the yen to strengthen significantly further, thus not anticipating a negative impact on performance.
