Bank of Japan to mull further credit easing
Posted: 05 March 2010 1234 hrs
TOKYO: Japan's central bank will likely consider more
monetary easing to fight stubborn deflation as the world's second largest
economy recovers from a severe recession, a newspaper reported Friday.
The Bank of Japan's policy board is expected to discuss new steps to
tackle deflation at a two-day meeting opening on March 16, the Nikkei economic
daily said without naming its sources.
With some officials cautious
about adopting new measures too soon, however, any decisions are likely to carry
over into next month, it said, adding that the bank would focus on ways to guide
lower short-term rates for up to a year.
The Bank of Japan has already
slashed interest rates to just 0.1 per cent and pumped trillions of yen into the
financial system to boost the economy in the face of the worst downturn in
decades.
But it has been criticised by Japan's government for not doing
enough to ward off the threat of another deflationary spiral as seen after the
country's economic bubble burst in the early 1990s.
Japan plunged into a
year-long recession in 2008 as its exports collapsed due to a severe global
downturn.
It returned to growth in the second quarter of 2009, but the
recovery remains fragile with falling consumer prices, high public debt and weak
domestic demand all major concerns for policymakers.
Consumer prices
fell 1.3 per cent in January year-on-year, the eleventh straight month of
decline.
