The Bank of Japan will host the second workshop of its long-term policy review on May 21 about the economic and price trends as well as monetary policy in the past 25 years, the central bank said on Friday.

It will follow the first workshop in December where central bank officials, university professors and private sector economists exchanged views on Japan's unconventional monetary easing steps in closed-door panel discussions. (Reporting by Kantaro Komiya; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)
