schema:articleBody	The Bank of Japan extended an emergency virus-related lending programme but kept its monetary easing policy unchanged Friday, as the country faces a record spike in new Covid-19 cases. In May, the central bank launched a new lending scheme aiming to channel funds to small and medium-sized businesses suffering from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. At a two-day policy meeting, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) extended the end-date for those measures by six months to September 2021. It made no change to its ultra-loose monetary policy, however, keeping the key interest rate at minus 0.1 percent and the 10-year government bond yield target at 0.0 percent. "Japan's economy has picked up, but the pace of improvement is expected to be only moderate while vigilance against the novel coronavirus continues," the central bank said. "In this situation, financing, mainly of firms, is likely to remain under stress for the time being," the bank added, referring to the extension of the lending programme. The pandemic has wrought global economic carnage and many countries have announced massive cash injections. Japan has seen a relatively small coronavirus outbreak overall, but the nation has reported record numbers of new infections in recent weeks. The BoJ's move comes after the government approved more than $700 billion in fresh stimulus this month to fund projects from anti-virus measures to green tech -- the country's third such package this financial year. On Thursday, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike and her staff warned that the capital's hospitals were struggling to provide routine care because of the sharp rise in new coronavirus cases. The city, which is preparing to host the virus-postponed Olympics next summer, raised its alert level for pressure on medical services to the top of a four-tier Covid-19 warning system for the first time. kh/kaf/axn
