BOJ: economy has 'begun to stop worsening'

By Myra P. Saefong

TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- The Bank of Japan raised its assessment of economic conditions Tuesday for a second time this year, acknowledging that economic conditions have "begun to stop worsening." The central bank's monetary policy board also kept its interest-rate target at the current 0.1% level, as had been widely expected. "Domestic private demand has continued to weaken," the central bank said at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting. But "exports and production have begun to turn upward, and public investment has also increased." Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 2.6% immediately following the BOJ announcement, amid a regionwide sell-off.
