TOKYO (Reuters) – The Bank of Japan will shorten its upcoming monetary policy meeting, originally planned for next Monday and Tuesday, to a single day to prevent coronavirus infections, public broadcaster NHK reported on Wednesday.
The BOJ is expected to take further steps to ease funding strains for companies hit by the pandemic by boosting purchases of corporate bonds and commercial paper (CP) and other measures, sources have told Reuters.
