Yasuyoshi Oya, chairman of the Regional Banks Association of Japan, said at a press conference about the BOJ's monetary policy decision meeting to "check" monetary easing measures. I asked for careful consideration as an invitation.

After the monetary policy meeting held for two days from the 18th, the Bank of Japan announced the results of the "inspection" of monetary easing measures and clarified that there is room for further lowering the interest rate level including negative interest rates. I would like to show a policy to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the current mitigation measures toward the realization of the% price target.

Regarding this, Chairman Oya of the Regional Banks Association of Japan said at a press conference on the 17th, "The negative interest rate policy had the effect of contributing to the escape from long-term deflation of the Japanese economy, but it has a large negative impact, so we will dig deeper. I want you to avoid it. "



Regarding the BOJ's negative interest rate policy, it has been pointed out that it has led to a decline in lending rates for regional banks and is a factor that puts pressure on profits. We asked for careful consideration.
