Japan's Finance Minister Aso: Not planning to ask BoJ to finance government's debt, driven up by virus stimulus - Reuters reports
- We are not at all thinking of debt financing by BoJ
- Notes BoJ is buying government bonds (from the market) based on its own judgment; believes BoJ adopts such a step as part of its battle with deflation
- Does not believe BoJ's governor Kuroda was considering financing debt in the same way as BoE
