0141 GMT - The Bank of Japan's policy board saw little impact from its December interest-rate hike to 0.75%, according to minutes from the central bank's January meeting. Some members noted that the lending attitudes of banks and the financial positions of firms remained favorable on the whole. Another member said that while small companies or firms with super-long-term investment projects might face an increased interest burden, the corporate sector has largely been able to absorb these costs thanks to currently solid business conditions.(megumi.fujikawa@wsj.com)
