TOKYO -- The Bank of Japan (BOJ) pumped 1.5 trillion yen ($14.15 billion) more into the Tokyo money market Monday in a bid to regulate the market in short-term finance between banks and other financial institutions.

The input of the money came for a fifth straight working day of emergency operation amid global financial market upheavals triggered by the collapse of US investment bank Lehman Brothers, bringing to 12.5 trillion yen ($117.92 billion) the aggregate amount of the emergency funds the BOJ injected into market.
