The Japanese government should "promptly" inject public funds into troubled banks to prevent a crisis, BOJ Governor Masaru Hayami reportedly said at a press conference following the BOJ meeting. He also said the government should consider injecting funds into banks as a preventative measure, adding he would prefer to see the injection before the March 31 year-end. Also said that the BOJ may reduce its JGB buying if the economy improves, saying too much BOJ buying could hurt its credibility.
