TOKYO, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady on Friday and raised its economic and inflation forecasts, signalling its readiness to continue hiking still-low borrowing costs.
As widely expected, the central bank maintained short-term interest rates at 0.75% by an 8-1 vote.
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda will hold a news conference to explain the decision at 3:30 p.m. (0630 GMT).
