Japan’s Weak Two-Year Bond Sale Shows Growing Rate Hike Risk

Japan’s finance ministry plans to boost government bond issuance by $75 billion to fund an economic stimulus package, potentially stoking concerns about the nation’s fiscal health.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s cabinet on Friday approved a draft supplementary budget for the fiscal year ending March 2026 that is worth 18.303 trillion yen, or about $117.10 billion. The government now plans to issue an additional 11.696 trillion yen of bonds, including increases in issuance of two- and five-year notes.

The announcement came a week after Takaichi unveiled a substantial economic stimulus package that includes measures to help households bear the burden of rising living costs.

Japanese government bond yields have been rising since Takaichi took office last month, with her preference for expansive economic policies triggering concerns that the country could stray from the path of fiscal discipline.
