TOKYO (Reuters) - Bank of Japan policymakers shared the view that the central bank will keep raising interest rates if its economic and price forecasts are met, minutes of their September meeting showed on Wednesday.

The nine-member board also agreed that the BOJ's near-term focus should be to scrutinise the economic fallout from overseas economic uncertainties and unstable financial markets, the minutes showed.
