At the monetary policy meeting held until the 27th, the Bank of Japan
decided to maintain the current large-scale monetary easing measures to keep
short-term interest rates negative and
long-term interest rates to around 0%.
In addition, it has decided to continue financing support measures for companies affected by the new coronavirus.
The Bank of Japan will continue to pay close attention to the impact of the spread of the infection on the economy in light of the state of emergency declared in the four prefectures of Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto, and will hesitate to take additional monetary easing if necessary. It is said.
