In Japan, interest rates are set by the Bank of Japan's Policy Board in its Monetary Policy Meetings. The BoJ's official interest rate is the discount rate. Monetary Policy Meetings produce a guideline for money market operations in inter-meeting periods and this guideline is written in terms of a target for the uncollateralized overnight call rate.
Latest Updates
The Bank of Japan left its key short-term interest rate unchanged at -0.1 percent at its July meeting and kept the target for the 10-year government bond yield at around zero percent, as widely expected. Policymakers underlined that they would not hesitate to take additional easing measures if the economy loses momentum for achieving the central bank's 2 percent inflation target.
