BOJ to cut buying of super-long bonds for first time in taper plan

Quick Summary:

TOKYO : The Bank of Japan said on Monday it will reduce purchases of super-long bonds for the first time since embarking on a quantitative tightening (QT) plan last year, taking another key step towards diminishing its huge presence in the bond market.

The decision comes ahead of the BOJ's scheduled review of its existing QT programme in June, when it will also announce a bond taper plan for April 2026 onwards.

The BOJ will buy a total of 405 billion yen of bonds with 10-25 years left to maturity per month in the second quarter, down from 450 billion yen previously.
