Though the economy is showing signs of life, and BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said companies are finding it easier to get funding, the Bank did not signal an end to its credit-easing programs in today's meeting. Some analysts had expected them to. However, it seems that by year's end the programs will be unwound. The statement said that Japan's economy has started to "pick up."

The Bank of Japan upgraded its assessment of the economy, saying that the economy is "showing signs of recovery", from its assessment last month that the economy "stopped worsening." However policy makers are concerned about the strength of the recovery. Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa told reporters that while the government has helped to stimulate domestic demand with tax cuts, that the bank's policy makers are concerned about the "strength of private final demand after those effects fade." Another concern is the appreciating Yen, which makes imports cheaper and stokes deflation, a problem that will keep interest rates at their current low levels for longer than other major economies. |

The BoJ kept the overnight rate at 0.1% as expected. The bank sees economic improvements in coming months and expects this to prevent a deepening deflationary period. It also has not mentioned any deviation from its current stance at 0.1% interest rate. |

The Bank of Japan kept its key interest rate unchanged at 0.10%, as forecast, and signaled it may end crediteasing programs. “We decided to extend the measures by three months this time, rather than six months, because financial conditions are improving and we expect this improvement to continue,” Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said, adding that “if this situation develops further, we will end” the programs. |
