Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday urged the central bank to provide ample funds to the market to ensure liquidity and keep the wheels of the economy turning in the wake of Britain's shock vote to exit the European Union.

"A sense of uncertainty and worry about risks remain in the markets," Abe told a meeting between the government and the Bank of Japan to discuss market developments after the Brexit vote rocked global financial markets.

It was the second meeting between Abe and the BOJ following the referendum and more are expected as Tokyo looks to put in place safeguards against potential instability in financial markets after Britain's messy EU divorce.
