About this work

Ending Japan's extraordinary monetary easing marked a turning point, but full normalization remained distant in April 2024. The Bank of Japan's large government bond holdings and the market effects of yield curve control complicated the transition. Reducing that footprint gradually carried implications for the yen and public finances.

Abstract

Ending Japan's extraordinary monetary easing marked a turning point, but full normalization remained distant in April 2024. The Bank of Japan's large government bond holdings and the market effects of yield curve control complicated the transition. Reducing that footprint gradually carried implications for the yen and public finances.
