Quick Glance: Fate of BOJ's Stimulus Tools Revealed
- The Bank of Japan ended eight years of negative interest rates and other unorthodox measures to boost growth. Details on changes to the stimulating tools were disclosed.
- The negative interest rate policy was lifted, and the bank now pays a 0.1% interest rate on excess reserves to withdraw money from the economy.
- Yield curve control was dismantled, but the bank will continue to buy bonds and intervene with larger purchases if bond yields rise rapidly.
- The purchase of risky assets like ETFs and REITs was discontinued, and the commitment to maintain massive stimulus was withdrawn to reassure the market.
