Therefore, the Bank decided to purchase through the Program financial assets amounting to about 5 trillion yen – namely, Japanese government securities and risk assets such as CP, corporate bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and Japan real estate investment trusts (J-REITs) – and provide longer-term funds amounting to 30 trillion yen at a fixed rate of 0.1 percent through the fixed-rate funds-supplying operation against pooled collateral.
The aim of the asset purchases through the Program is not to raise the prices of these assets by adjusting the supply and demand balance in the market.
