The BOJ joined the U.S. Federal Reserve in expanding its purchases of government bonds to an unlimited amount, as the public health crisis triggered concerns about a deep global recession. Japan’s government previously approved an emergency economic stimulus package worth 117.1 trillion yen.
公共衛生危機引發全球經濟陷入深度衰退的疑慮，日本央行跟進美國聯準會，把購買政府債券的規模擴大到無限量。日本政府先前通過了117.1兆日圓的緊急經濟刺激計畫。

“In this crisis situation, it is important to take action along with the government, as seen in Europe and the United States. We expect a synergy effect between our monetary measures and the government’s fiscal emergency package,” said Kuroda.

To ease corporate funding strains, the BOJ more than doubled the size of corporate bond and commercial paper purchases to 20 trillion yen. With many companies seeing a drastic decline in revenue, the central bank is concerned that a sequence of bankruptcies could happen if borrowers don’t have access to funds.
為了舒緩企業資金壓力，日本央行把公司債券和商業票據購買規模增加了一倍多，至20兆日圓。由於許多公司的營收大幅下降，央行擔心如果借款人無法獲得資金，可能會出現一連串的破產。
