Bank of Japan keeps interest rate unchanged at 0.5 per cent
The Bank of Japan decided on Tuesday to keep its key short-term interest rate unchanged at 0.5 per cent as uncertainty spread over the future course of the world's second-largest economy amid global financial crisis.
The Bank of Japan said yesterday it had decided to leave its super-low interest rates unchanged at 0.5 percent, at the end of a two-day meeting, as had been widely expected.
