May 7 (Bloomberg) -- The Bank of Japan said it will pump 2 trillion yen ($21.8 billion) into the financial system after the Greek debt crisis caused instability in financial markets in the U.S. and Europe.
The emergency measure represents the banks first same-day repurchase operations since December. The balance of current- account deposits held by financial institutions at the central bank will likely increase to 16.9 trillion yen, up 800 billion yen from yesterday, the central bank said.
