The Finance Ministry is once again warming up its overseas bond campaign in hopes of diversifying its bondholder base to increase stability and management of the Japanese government bond market.
The ministry launched promotional tours in January 2005, sending senior officials to Australia, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, Singapore and Hong Kong.
It now plans to hold JGB promotion seminars next year in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to boost the ratio of JGBs held overseas.
