March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa is under fire for refusing to consider 1930s-style purchases of government bonds to fund reconstruction from the nationâs record earthquake.
Shirakawa yesterday repeated his attempts to quash direct buying of government debt, a measure allowed in extraordinary circumstances with the permission of the Diet. The policy would undermine confidence in the yen and provoke a surge in consumer prices, he said at parliamentary fiscal and finance committee hearings the past two days.
âIf this isnât a special situation, what is?â Kozo Yamamoto, a Diet member with the opposition Liberal Democratic Party,
