|A senior Bank of Japan (BOJ) official said on Tuesday, “we don't have any preset idea now on how long BOJ will keep buying exchange traded funds (ETFs) at 12-trln-yen per year pace.”
Additional comments
“Will do so for as long as needed with eye on market moves.”
“Various steps BOJ has taken so far to combat pandemic, including paced-up ETF buying, are all temporary measures.”
“BOJ holds roughly 5-6% of Japan shares via its ETF buying, which has book value of around 30 trln yen as of end-March.”
