TOKYO (Reuters) – Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank will continue to buy exchange-traded funds (ETF) as needed with a close eye on market developments even after the coronavirus pandemic subsides, the Asahi newspaper reported.
“We have absolutely no plan to end our (ETF) purchases or unload our holdings. We will continue to buy ETFs flexibly and in a nimble fashion, so it’s absolutely not the case that we are exiting ultra-loose monetary policy,” Kuroda was quoted as saying in an interview that ran on Tuesday.
