The Bank of Japan announced it will accelerate the pace of its ETF sales starting January 2027, increasing the annual sales amount to approximately 860 billion yen (market value ~2,460 billion yen) from the current approximately 330 billion yen. This adjustment is expected to shorten the time required to complete sales from about 112 years to approximately 43 years. The Bank will continue to dispose of its holdings at adequate prices, aiming to avoid losses and destabilizing effects on financial markets, with temporary adjustments or suspensions possible based on market conditions.
