REPEAT: MNI: BOJ Leaves Unchanged JGB Buying Frequency in Feb 

Repeats Story Initially Transmitted at 12:16 GMT Jan 31/07:16 EST Jan 31
--Also Leaves Unchanged Buying Plans for Each JGB Maturity Zone
     TOKYO (MNI) - The Bank of Japan said Wednesday it has decided to leave the
frequency of its Japanese government bond purchases in February unchanged from
January, indicating there is no need to guide any particular bond yields higher
or lower.
     The BOJ also left unchanged its purchase plans for each JGB maturity zone.
     Under its yield curve control policy framework, the BOJ is seeking to
stabilize the 10-year government bond yield, the benchmark for long-term
borrowing costs, "around zero percent" and keep the overnight interest rate at
-0.1%.
     The BOJ also said that it may announce additional JGB buying operations,
depending on market conditions.
     The BOJ refrains from conducting JGB buying operations on days when the
Ministry of Finance auctions JGBs and the BOJ board holds policy meetings.
     The planned JGB purchase operations in February:
     The zones (amounts to be purchased in ranges)

     More than 25 years (Y50-Y150 bln in Feb vs. Y50-Y150 bln in Jan)
     The frequencies of operations in each zone in February (vs. plans and
