The central bank says it will decide on the detailed reducing strategy in the next meeting. Until then, it will continue purchases at the current pace, which is at around 6 trillion yen ($38.1 billion) per month. The move marks another move toward policy normalization that started on March 19, when the central bank decided to end its zero interest rate policy, new equity purchases and yield curve controls but stopped short of reducing the amount of its bond purchases. The shift illustrates the growing alarm among Japanese policymakers about the weak yen, exacerbated by the bank's supereasy monetary policy. Japan's currency, which has fallen 27% against the dollar since the beginning of 2022, plumbed a 34-year low of 160 to the greenback in April. After a two-day policy meeting, the BOJ decided to leave other measures unchanged, including its policy interest rate -- an uncollateralized overnight call rate -- between 0% and 0.1%.
