TOKYO, April 28 (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan (BOJ) on
Friday kept monetary settings unchanged but revamped its
guidance on the future path of policy, and decided to conduct a
"broad-perspective" review of its monetary policy.
As widely expected, the BOJ kept intact its short-term
interest rate target at -0.1% and that for the 10-year bond
yield around 0% at the two-day meeting that ended on Friday.
But it modified its forward guidance by removing reference
on the need to guard against risks from the COVID-19 pandemic,
and to keep interest rates at "current or lower levels."
