Jerry Robinson’s Analysis and Commentary

Jerry Robinson begins this week’s show with his analysis of the historic amount of money printing announced by the Bank of Japan this week. This week, the Bank of Japan has promised to unleash the largest amount of monetary stimulus in history during their policy meeting this week. In his first official policy meeting, the new governor of the BOJ, Haruhiko Kuroda announced a doubling of Japan’s monetary base by the end of 2014.

The new policy moves will require the Bank of Japan to purchase approximately 70% of all long-term government bonds issued by the Japanese government every single month.
