The Bank of Japan kept its negative policy rate unchanged at minus 0.1% at its policy board meeting that ended Wednesday, as a result of a "comprehensive assessment" of its easing measures.

At the previous meeting through July 29, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda instructed his staff to comprehensively assess the effects of its monetary easing as the bank has been struggling to achieve its 2% inflation target since the governor took office in March 2013, according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
