The Bank of Japan said it stands ready to offer sufficient liquidity as needed after global markets were roiled after the U.K. unexpectedly decided to leave the EU.
"The Bank of Japan, in close cooperation with relevant domestic and foreign authorities, will continue to carefully monitor how the result would affect global financial markets," the central bank reportedly said as the results of the referendum came in early Friday.
The Japanese central bank, led by Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, said it stands ready to provide sufficient liquidity, including utilizing the swap arrangements with the six central banks to ensure the stability of financial markets.
Results of the June 23 referendum showed the UK voted June 24 to leave the EU.
