BOJ purchases government bonds without additional monetary easing Linked to government economic measures April 27, 12:14
The Bank of Japan held a monetary policy meeting on the 27th, and decided that it would take additional monetary easing, saying that the spread of the new coronavirus would have a more serious impact on the economy.
In order to support the economy in tandem with the government's economic measures, for the time being, we will aggressively buy government bonds by eliminating the annual limit of 80 trillion yen that we have established so far, and make it possible to supply more ample funds.
In addition, we will significantly increase the purchase of corporate bonds, CP and commercial paper issued by companies to facilitate the financing of companies, and support the increasingly difficult cash flow.
With the additional monetary easing that followed the March meeting, we announced a stance of mobilizing all policies to support the sharply depressed economy.
