Reuters reports, citing sources familiar with the BOJ thinking
The report says that the Japanese central bank will discuss about additional steps to ease corporate funding strains at their next policy meeting on 27-28 April, in order to provide more money to smaller firms impacted by the virus fallout.
Among the possible options on the table, the BOJ could increase purchases of corporate bonds and commercial paper, or expanding the range of assets it accepts as collateral in offering loans to financial institutions, the sources said.
