In September 2016, the BOJ introduced QQE with Yield Curve Control (YCC)—a new program that targets both short-term and long-term policy interest rates, to resolve the issues created by QQE and QQE with NIRP, aiming at an inflation overshooting target of 2%. Japan’s Yield Curve Control Regime is Coming to America The central planners at the Fed and the U.S. Treasury, like the central planners at the BOJ, want a yield curve that looks just right. Namely, they want a yield curve that uniformly steps up like topographic elevation curves step up from California’s Death Valley along the face of the The average maturity target of seven to 12 years for the JGB purchase operation is now abolished; instead, the fixed-rate fund-supplying operation will be extended up to 10 years and will be used, along with the JGB purchasing, to control the yield curve. The Bank of Japan began its programme by targeting a yield of 0% for ten-year Japanese government bonds; an American version might begin by capping the rate for one-year bonds, then adding in By controlling the yield curve, the central bank intends to show its determination of getting inflation to its targeted level, and indirectly help inflation expectations rise. To put in practice the new framework, the Bank of Japan sets two interest rates – a short-term policy rate and an operating target for long-term interest rate. ③Signaling effects  Fixed rate operation in early February effectively provided counterparties with an opportunity to sell JGBs at strike price, thereby enhancing market confidence in YCC.  Long-term Treasury bond yield was capped at 2.5%, and short-term Treasury bill yield was pegged at 0.375% (until July 1947). (1) Yield curve control a) Guideline for market operations (by a 7-2 majority vote)[Note 1] The guideline for market operations specifies a short-term policy interest rate and a target level of a long-term interest rate. The Bank decided to set the following guideline for market operations for the intermeeting period.

The new framework, QQE with Yield Curve Control, leaves the quality and interest rate dimensions unchanged but signals a shift away from targeting a quantity of JGB purchases toward a commitment to fix 10-year JGB yields at around 0%, lifting them up from the negative rates that were seen under the previous regime.
