BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank’s ETF buying is not distorting the Tokyo stock market. “We are buying ETFs as part of a comprehensive monetary easing framework. We have no plans now to end the framework or our ETF purchases,” he said.
“The frequency of our ETF buying has fallen sharply recently, as well as the size of each purchase,” Kuroda said. “We’re buying flexibly looking at market developments.”
