At the monetary policy meeting held until the 18th, the Bank of Japan decided to maintain the current large-scale monetary easing measures that keep short-term interest rates negative and long-term interest rates at around 0%.
In addition, as the effects of the new coronavirus have been prolonged, we have decided to extend the deadline for corporate financing support measures, which is set to end September, for half a year until the end of March next year.
The Bank of Japan will continue to monitor the economic impact of the new coronavirus and will hesitate to take additional monetary easing if necessary.
