“BOJ could buy green bonds in the future, though not any time soon.”
“BOJ may raise the short-term rate to around 0-0.5% but such move will be withdrawal of extraordinary stimulus, not beginning of rate-hike cycle.”
“BOJ likely won't abandon 0% cap on long-term rate even if it were to hike short-term rate target.”
