Foreign Investors Shake Japan's Bond Market
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Foreign investors are increasingly dominating Japans government bond market, now accounting for sixty-five percent of monthly cash transactions, up from twelve percent in 2009. This surge in foreign involvement, driven by attractive yields and ease of trading, brings both new demand and potential for market volatility. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis massive spending plan and the Bank of Japans reduced bond purchases coincide with this shift, raising concerns about bond yields and market stability. Despite foreign investors growing influence, Japanese investors, including the Bank of Japan, still hold a strong position, and Prime Minister Takaichi aims to reassure markets by signaling lower bond issuance this fiscal year.
