Japan central bank leaves interest rate

Japan’s central bank unchanged its interest rate as it seeks to support an economic recovery.

The widely expected decision came Friday in a unanimous vote by the bank's policy board after a two-day meeting.

According to bank, nothing decreases in prices because it was critical for Japan to overcome deflation.

It said it "does not tolerate" a situation in which the country's consumer price index doesn't change or decreases on a yearly basis.
