Bank of Japan stuns market with even more stimulus By Charles Riley @CRrileyCNN October 31, 2014: 1:47 AM ET
HONG KONG (CNNMoney) The Bank of Japan is going for broke and expanding its already aggressive stimulus plan in an effort to keep the country's economic revival plan on track.
In a surprise announcement, the central bank said Friday that it will increase its purchases of longer-term debt, building on a stimulus plan first announced a year and a half ago.
The bank will now make asset purchases at an annual pace of around 80 trillion yen, an increase from the previous 60 to 70 trillion yen target range. The Nikkei jumped by as much as 5%.
The bank's decision was far from unanimous -- five board members voted in favor of additional stimulus, while four voted against the proposal.
The additional stimulus puts the Bank of Japan at odds with other central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, that are scaling back or ending their stimulus programs.

Britain repays Churchill bonds for debt from 18th century
Britain on Friday said it was paying back bonds issued by then Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill to cover debts from World War I, as well as the Napoleonic and Crimean campaigns.
The "4% Consolidated Loan" bonds came out in 1927, partly to refinance National War Bonds originating from WWI that were widely touted as a patriotic investment during the war years.
They also paid for debt dating back as far as the South Sea Bubble financial crisis in the 18th century when a British joint stock company trading with South America collapsed.
The Treasury said on Friday it was redeeming £218 million of the bonds.
"This will be the first time that a Chancellor has redeemed an undated gilt (sovereign bonds) of this sort in more than 60 years," the ministry said in a statement.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said: "We are only able to take this action today thanks to the difficult decisions that this government has taken to get a grip on public finances".
The ministry said £2.0 billion in World War I debt is still outstanding -- "one graphic illustration of the legacy of this war on our nation and the long term effects of high debt."
The government said it was planning to repay that debt in full.
Problem with this is that he might allow himself to raise the consumption tax again to 10% but that will only hit the ordinary guy in the street. The money being created wont filter down to him. It will go into the stock market.

Worth reading the whole article in its entirety
One former Fed official once put it like this: "You don't want to be found dead after a shoot-out with unused ammunition."
So QE may be ending, but we can be sure the debate about its impact will not. Has it saved the US, and perhaps the rest of us, from economic disaster?
Or has it sowed the seeds for the next financial crisis?
