BOJ Is Said To Be Likely To Mull Extending Virus Program This Month (BBG)

BOJ

A BBG source report has suggested that "the Bank of Japan is likely to consider extending its special funding program to support virus-hit businesses at a policy meeting this month, according to people familiar with the matter. A recent resurgence of infection cases has intensified uncertainties for the economy and that will be a key topic at the two-day gathering through Dec. 18, the people said. By lengthening the duration of the support program beyond its current expiry in March, the bank would provide further relief to businesses seeking access to funding, they said."
