BlockBeats reports that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is considering easing the pace of its bond purchase reductions starting next fiscal year in a bid to minimize disruptions in the bond market. The move follows a spike in yields on Japan’s super-long-term government bonds last month, which hit record highs amid growing investor unease over the country's worsening fiscal outlook.
Internal discussions reveal a lack of consensus within the BOJ: while some policymakers advocate for ongoing market intervention, others support keeping the current pace of tapering intact. The final decision is expected during the BOJ’s next policy meeting scheduled for June 16–17, during which the bank will review its current reduction strategy (set to run through March 2026) and discuss potential adjustments for the period beginning in April 2026.
