The Bank of Japan's Policy Board left both key rates and monetary policy unchanged Friday, in a move widely expected by financial markets. The decision by the board was by majority vote. The BOJ also confirmed it would keep its current account deposits target above 6 trillion yen. It also confirmed the key discount rate at 0.10%, a level set on September 18 as global central banks cut rates following the terrorist attacks on the United States.
