The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced on Friday that the board members decided to leave the short-term interest rate target unchanged in the range of 0.4%- 0.5% after concluding its two-day monetary policy review meeting.

The decision matched the market expectations.

The Japanese central bank maintained the pause in its rate-hiking cycle for the fourth consecutive meeting, following a 25 basis points (bps) hike in January.
