The bank focuses on BOJ ETF assets at the end of stock sales

Bank of Japan is certainly to eliminate millions of dollars shares, which have been purchased from the without banques during the financial crisis two decades ago, which is soon two decades ago compared to the prescribed, there is a development that Exchange-traded funds focus on the fate of their big holdings. ,

According to the latest BOJ report on its account of share holdings acquired by BOJ, till 10 February .8 52.8 billion. Given the speed of its monthly sales, the central bank has been in consecutive years over 10 billion, the central bank may settle all the remaining assets in about five months. The bank said that in 2015 it would sell these shares by March 2026.

This is an important idea for investors. Several BOJ is considered that the authorities are unlikely to sell the property purchased from banks and ETFs on the concerns of potential market ropes. An initial completion of bank stock operation increases the possibility that BOJ can telegraph its intention to sell ETF by stopping the discussion with market participants earlier this year.

ETFS Holdings Governor Kazuo Uaida’s policy is the last major piece of puzzle. As he has demanded to open the ultracy policy settings made by his predecessor, the Governor has avoided referring specific schemes for ETFs, even he raised interest rates and the yield-cycle control system have destroyed.

UEDA has raised rates three times in the last 12 months, and has also announced a plan to tighten quantitatively through the sale of government loan holdings. Last month, the chief reiterated his long -held position that he needs more time to reduce the fate of ETF as it is a complex issue.

According to the BOJ latest account data, the book value is about 37 trillion ETFs. According to a central bank report, in terms of market value, the price of these assets was Rill 70.3 trillion at the end of September.

The BOJ began buying stock funds in December 2010, preventing inflation as part of a monetary stimulation program. Former Governor Haruhiko Kuroda expanded the assets of purchasing property so much that the bank formally became the largest single holder of Japanese shares before formally closing the operation in March last year.

Compared to ETFs, the measure of the purchase of stock holdings of banks was about 15 times smaller. BOJ began to receive those assets in November 2002 and maintained purchases for about two years as it demanded banks to preserve the stability of the financial system by helping banks to overcome their serious poor debt problems. In view of the global financial crisis, the bank resumed shopping between February 2009 and April 2010.

While the size of the bank shares is relatively low as compared to the BOJ’s ETF holdings, it takes the central bank in about a decade so that it is close to the pretext of all the shares with its balance sheet. The bank started selling them in October 2007 before suspending sales after a year due to the global financial crisis. In late 2015, it was stated that it would resume sales by a decade with the expansion of the sale period in April 2016.

The fate of BOJ’s ETF Holdings has already attracted the attention of some politicians because the nation expands fiscal expenses, even it shoulders the biggest public debt burden among developed countries. . Japan’s Constitutional Democratic Party has called upon the government to transfer property ownership to use them to fund childcare measures.

Some analysts say an option would be to repeat what Hong Kong did after his stock market intervention, when he settled his holdings in a newly listed vehicle. He said that Japan could create a unit to sell in the market at the appropriate time, or provide property to long -term institutional investors from the market.

While the interest in this issue is increasing, BOJ is very little required to hurry to settle its stock fund assets. The bank earned RILL 1.2 trillion in revenue from ETF dividends in the financial year ended in March 2024. The flow of funds is expected to continue offering large support at a time to the bank’s finance when the cost of paying interest to banks is bound to increase with its generalization process.

The average speed of sales of BOJ’s bank stock has increased to 11.1 billion per month since 2021. If the BOJ takes a completely similar approach with its ETF assets, the process will take 279 years.
