A noted dove on the Bank of Japan's policy board said there's no need to make major changes to the bank's plan for tapering bond purchases, a remark that comes a month before authorities unveil guidelines for bond buying in the period beyond April 2026. 'It is unnecessary at this point to make any major changes to the current plan,' BOJ board member Asahi Noguchi said Thursday in a speech in Miyazaki, southwestern Japan. 'The bank will need to examine the reduction plan for April 2026 onward from a longer-term perspective.'
