                  Bank of Japan policymaker Takehiro Sato holds a press conference in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, on June 10, 2015. Though the BOJ's monetary easing is intended to put downward pressure on nominal interest rates across the entire yield curve through massive government bond purchases, such an effect has been "diminishing gradually" due mainly to reduced demand from investors to purchase bonds amid already low interest rates, Sato said.
