In 2022, the collapse of the Japanese yen will not subside. Japan has been in a terrible situation since the Kishida administration, and the Japanese yen has always been sold. The Bank of Japan is also stubbornly inducing the depreciation of the yen, and there is suspicion that it intends to destroy Japan intentionally. Meanwhile, on April 20, 2022, the Bank of Japan announced that it would carry out a limit operation to buy unlimited government bonds at the specified yield from the 21st to the 26th. And the influence is reflected in the exchange rate.
What is a limit operation?
A limit operation is a market operation that buys unlimited government bonds from financial institutions at a yield specified in advance by the Bank of Japan. It is carried out when restraining the rise of long-term interest rates in the market. Introduced for long-term interest rate manipulation within the new monetary policy framework announced in September 2016. Under the new framework, we have set a target to induce the yield of 10-year government bonds, which is an indicator of long-term interest rates, to around 0%. When the limit operation is carried out, the BOJ will buy government bonds at a higher yield than the market, so the price of government bonds will rise and long-term interest rates will fall.
