US EditionJapan to consider buying back some super-long government bonds: Reuters
- As of June 9, 2025, Japan is exploring plans to repurchase certain long-dated government bonds originally issued at low interest rates in an effort to curb the recent increase in their yields.
- The bond buyback consideration follows last month's record rise in yields on super-long Japanese government bonds due to dwindling insurer demand and market jitters.
- The Ministry of Finance intends to consult with participants in the bond market on June 20 before making a decision regarding bond repurchases, which would need budget approval and could be a lengthy process.
- On June 10, 2025, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index continued its upward trend for a third consecutive day, buoyed in part by news of a potential government bond buyback, closing 0.3% higher with 133 stocks advancing.
- Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato indicated that efforts will be made by the government to uphold trust in the JGB market amid concerns over fiscal stability and rising borrowing costs.
