TOKYO (Reuters) – The Bank of Japan will consider extending beyond March a range of measures aimed at easing corporate funding strains, Jiji news agency reported on Friday.
An extension has been widely viewed by markets as a done deal as the measures were put in place to ease the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which is still ravaging the economy.
The BOJ is expected to reach a decision on extending the measures at a rate review in either December or January.
