Abstract

Facing Japan's worst recession in decades, the Bank of Japan said on Thursday that it would buy 1 trillion yen, or $10.7 billion, in corporate bonds, extend its purchases of commercial paper and maintain its near-zero interest rate to ease a crippling credit squeeze. The central bank voted unanimously to maintain its key policy rate at 0.1 percent.
