剰余金が過去最高　保有国債に含み損―日銀中間決算

　日銀が２８日発表した２０２２年９月中間決算は、企業の純利益に相当する当期剰余金が１兆５９２４億円（前年同期は１兆５２９億円）と過去最高となった。急速な円安が進んだことで保有する外貨建て資産を円換算したときの為替差益が拡大したことに加え、上場投資信託（ＥＴＦ）の運用益が増加したことが主な要因。
　日銀が保有する国債は金利上昇（価格下落）の影響を受け、８７４９億円の含み損（今年３月末は４兆３７３４億円の含み益）に転じた。含み損が生じたのは、黒田東彦総裁が１３年に異次元の大規模金融緩和を導入してから初めて。（2022/11/28-20:06）

The Bank of Japan said Monday that its surplus for April-September hit a record high, thanks to the yen's sharp depreciation, which boosted foreign exchange-related gains on its holdings of foreign currency-denominated assets.
   The surplus, equivalent to net profit at companies, grew from 1,052.9 billion yen a year before to 1,592.4 billion yen, also reflecting higher profits on the central bank's holdings of exchange-traded funds.
   Foreign exchange gains shot up from 28 billion yen to 1,506.3 billion yen.
   Meanwhile, the BOJ logged a latent loss of 874.9 billion yen on its holdings of Japanese government bonds, against a profit of 4,373.4 billion yen at the end of March, due to a fall in JGB prices.
   Such a latent loss was booked for the first time since the BOJ, under Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, launched its massive monetary easing policy in 2013.
