BOJ Said to Be Open to Expanding Loans, Bond Buying

Share Print 0

Bank of Japan policy makers are prepared to consider expanding an emergency-loan program for banks and increasing purchases of government debt should the recovery falter, people with knowledge of the matter said.

[mserve id=”Central_Bank_BOJ.jpeg” align=”left” width=”400″ caption=”Bank of Japan” alt=”Central Bank of Japan BOJ” title=”Bank of Japan”]The central bank’s board will leave interest rates and its lending program unchanged tomorrow, 16 of 17 economists said in a Bloomberg News survey. How it responds in coming months will depend on the extent of any further economic shocks — such as a surge in the yen to November’s 14-year high — the people said on condition of anonymity because the talks are private.
