Explainer-What the BOJ's reduced bond buying will mean for markets

Quick Summary:

TOKYO : The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to unveil details of a quantitative tightening (QT) plan at its monetary policy meeting next week, aimed at reducing its holdings of government bonds.

While a wide range of views has surfaced, the broad consensus centres on the BOJ gradually reducing its monthly purchases of JGBs to 3 trillion yen ($19.52 billion) from its current pace of 6 trillion yen.

Given the size of its balance sheet and large presence in the market, it's a massive undertaking with various factors for policymakers and investors to consider.
