The Bank of Japan's unrealized losses of treasury bond in the last fiscal year amounted to 45.44 trillion yen

The Bank of Japan announced that the unrealized loss of its position in Japanese treasury bond bonds in the previous fiscal year amounted to 45.44 trillion yen (about 285.26 billion dollars), higher than the 28.63 trillion yen in the previous fiscal year, a record high. Officials stated that such losses do not affect monetary policy decisions, as the plan is to hold bonds until maturity. With the exit from the negative interest rate policy, the yield of Japanese treasury bond will rise due to the tightening of monetary policy, the rise of oil prices due to the Middle East conflict and the government's fiscal stimulus plan, which may aggravate the book losses.
