Japan Government's New Long-Term Rate Estimate: 2.1% by FY2025/2026
Japan's Long-Term Rate Estimate Increase
The government of Japan has announced its intention to raise the long-term rate estimate to 2.1% for the fiscal year 2025/2026. This decision is largely influenced by the recent increase in government bond yields following the Bank of Japan's adjustments to interest rates.
Impact of the Shift Away from Stimulus
This strategic move marks a significant departure from a decade-long stimulus program, designed to support economic recovery. As a result, debt-servicing costs for the government are expected to rise, which could have broader implications for Japan's fiscal policy and economic outlook.
