The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates on Friday barring any market shocks when U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

The move would lift short-term borrowing costs to levels unseen since 2008 global financial crisis.

A hike by the BOJ would be the first since July last year when the move shocked traders and triggered a rout in global markets.
