BOJ keeps ultra-loose policy unchanged.

As anticipated, the Bank of Japan has left its key interest rate at 0.1%, and maintained its program of expanding the monetary base at an annual rate of ¥60-70T a year.

However, the BOJ believes that demand will increase before a rise in sales tax in April and then fall after the hike is implemented.
