Reuters Survey Outlines Market Tapering Expectations

BOJ

A Reuters survey conducted over the late June/early July period suggests the central bank's bond buying program will be cut by roughly $100bn in the first year.

  • Reuters notes "That would translate into monthly purchases of 4.65 trillion yen, down from the current pace of around 6 trillion yen. In the second year, the respondents expect the purchase amount to fall to an average 3.55 trillion yen, the survey showed."
  • This comes ahead of the BoJ's meeting with industry participants on July 9-10, where taper plans by the central bank will be discussed.
  • The next BoJ meeting is at the end of July.
