JAPAN IS TRYING TO FIND NEW BUYERS FOR ITS MASSIVE BOND MARKET.
For decades, the Bank of Japan was the buyer of last resort for Japanese government debt. But since 2024, the BOJ has been reducing its bond purchases — leaving a growing demand gap as yields rise. Now Tokyo wants households to help fill it. Japan’s Finance Ministry is reportedly considering adding government bonds to the New NISA tax-free investment program as part of its fiscal 2027 tax reforms. Some lawmakers are even pushing for inheritance-tax incentives. The challenge is huge: → BOJ owns roughly 50% of JGBs → Banks and institutions hold around 40% → Japanese households own just 2% Meanwhile, long-term Japanese yields are trading around levels not seen in decades. Japan spent years using its central bank to absorb government debt. Now it increasingly needs private investors to take over. The big question: Will Japanese households become the bond market’s new buyer of last resort? Source: Bull Theory
