TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's central bank said on Wednesday that it was leaving its interest rates unchanged at 0.5 percent, as expected, amid growing worries about the health of the global economy.

The unanimous decision was made at the end of a two-day meeting that the Bank of Japan was forced to hold with no permanent governor after the post fell vacant last month for the first time in eight decades.
