Japanese media: The Bank of Japan has set aside the maximum reserves for bond trading.

According to Nikkei News, the Bank of Japan has set aside the highest amount of reserves for bond trading losses. The report stated that the Bank of Japan raised its reserve level to 100% for the first time in the 2024 fiscal year, indicating that the central bank expects future interest payments from financial institutions to impact its capital base. Previously, at the monetary policy meeting in May, the Bank of Japan kept short-term interest rates unchanged at 0.5%, but pressure from external sources to continue raising borrowing costs is growing.
