At present, the Bank sets the short-term policy interest rate at minus 0.1 percent and the target level of the 10-year  5  Japanese government bond (JGB) yields at around 0 percent, conducting JGB purchases so as to achieve this target level.
As I explained earlier, although the economic growth in Japan has taken hold more firmly, the inflation momentum is not yet sufficiently firm and there is still a long way to go before achieving the price stability target of 2 percent.
