The Bank of Japan wants to hear your problems!

Bloomberg  report on enhanced communication activities at the bank:
  • The BOJ has added its own surveys of investors and primary dealers since last year, on top of separate Ministry of Finance panel discussions with traders and economists.
  • Never before have Japanese authorities opened so many avenues of discourse with market participants.
As the volume of bonds available to trade in Japan has fallen (the BOJ buying so many) the bank is concerned more participants will pull out of the market
But that's not all, the BOJ is also surveying non-financial market participants ('main street').
