BoJ Executive Director Kato: Bank has no plans to immediately dispose of ETF holdings
Kato, executive director of the Bank of Japan
- BoJ has no plans to immediately get rid of its ETF holdings
- I hope to spend some time looking at how to get rid of the Bank’s ETF holdings in the future.
ETF purchasing was a key part of the BoJ’s easing policy. I’m not throwing them away yet.
Takeshi Kato is head of the Monetary Affairs Department, Payment and Settlement Systems Department (Payment and Settlement Systems Division), and Financial Markets Department at the Bank of Japan.
