The Bank of Japan kept its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged today (December 19), amid rising market expectations that the central bank will end the policy next year.

The BoJ’s nine-member rate-setting board unanimously decided to keep its short-term policy interest rate at -0.1%, while keeping its target for 10-year Japanese government bond yields at around 0%. It also left unchanged a loose cap of 1% set for the 10-year JGB yield.
