Bank of Japan may extend program encouraging lending

The Bank of Japan will consider extending a program designed to provide low-interest loans for financial institutions that boosted lending, in order to supplement monetary easing and stimulate demand for funds among businesses.



At a monetary policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, the BOJ plans to discuss prolonging the measure by a year beyond the March 31 projected end date. The central bank will make a final decision by its next meeting, scheduled for Feb. 17-18.



Private-sector institutions can currently borrow up to double the increase in their lending to retail and corporate customers. For an annual 0.1% rate from the BOJ, borrowers can hold on to the funds for a maximum of four years.
