TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister
Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday the central bank's purchases of
exchange-traded funds are part of its monetary stimulus and it
was up to the bank to decide on how to dispose of such assets.
"I don't think the BOJ's ETF purchases are having negative
influence on individuals' asset formation," Suzuki told
reporters.
