The Bank of Japan is maintaining the policy framework of quantitative easing. As you know, under this framework, the Bank supplies liquidity far in excess of required reserves, creating an environment where short-term interest rates stay very close to zero.
Another element of our present policy framework is a firm commitment to maintaining that environment until year-on-year inflation, as measured by core CPI, is stably zero or above. 5/6  Currently, Japanese core CPI is still declining slightly, and the Bank of Japan steadfastly adheres to the commitment I have just explained.
