[Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Himimo Ryozo: There are currently no plans to adjust the ETF sales plan again] On November 13th, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Himimo Ryozo said that although the central bank accelerated the pace of selling exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last month, it does not currently intend to change the current sales pace. In response to a question in Congress, Himino Ryozo said that so far the Bank of Japan has been able to successfully sell the ETFs it holds. Overall, it is difficult to predict the Bank of Japan's profit outlook, as its profits are affected by a variety of factors including financial market movements and central bank policies. Note: The Bank of Japan decided at last month’s monetary policy meeting to speed up the pace of sales of its ETF holdings.
