The Bank of Japan kept its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged today (June 16) as it looks for clearer signs that inflation will be sustainable.
In a widely expected move, the BoJ’s nine-member policy board unanimously decided to hold its target for short-term interest rates at -0.1%. The rate last changed when the central bank adopted negative rates in 2016.
The board also kept its target for 10-year Japanese government bonds at 50 basis points above or below 0% under its yield curve
