TOKYO -- The Bank of Japan will consider changes to its approach to purchasing exchange-traded funds at its policy board meeting next week, a potentially significant move by the institution that has become the top holder of Japanese stocks.
As the risks of buying in an overheated market become more apparent, some at the central bank have proposed eliminating its 6 trillion yen ($55 billion) annual target in favor of an approach that allows for greater flexibility to adjust to market conditions.
