Buyers flee Japanese debt as Takaichi hits the ground spending | REUTERS
Japan’s government bonds are in free fall as investors take a dim view of an atmosphere of competitive spending on the hustings, where politicians are jostling to cut taxes in an economy with the heaviest debt burden in the developed world.

What a misleading title
1) 10-year JGB (cash yield proxy)
• Mon 19 Jan close: ~2.274%
• Wed 21 Jan close: ~2.29%
➡️ Yield change: +~2 bps (higher yield = slightly lower price) 
Takaichi is the Liz Truss of Asia.
US has the heaviest debt burden in the world, not Japan. Only the US prints money out of nothing
Japan the SINKING SHIP
Japan can sell it's US debt to support her own government's bond purchase.
Fugu Fileti
Let the yen be the Japanese banana 1945 .. again . Well deserved for this type this leadership … not my business
Before world war two lunatics started running governments, history repeats in a spiral, the same but with sufficient bad additions, for example, nuclear weapons.
Time for capitalism to go before it ki11s us all.
Read the World Socialist WebSite ( WSWS).
LMFAO!!! 😅😂😆🤣👌
Well done, Takaichi
Oh no !
Another national leader with no sense of economic or finance reality.
Power to the People
We need to spend our tax dollars on space travel,not war.
Debt dominos falling
could use stronger currencies around world to increase trade and grow economies
Understand Takaichi’s plan & believe that it would work in the US or SK. But given Japan’s society, I have my doubts that it can pivot to a high growth GDP economy in the short term.
She is a female Trump!
print money to avoid foreigners and help the wealthy. Cool populists.
Absolutely epic bond puke
very classy and beautiful woman 🙂
no worry
I have no idea why but Japanese love Takaichi.
My mom saw her with TACO, she said “what kind of leader kisses up to other leaders”
Damn
Sanei from accounts again ….
Takaichi's phenomena is to open a way of japanese'acceptance for next woman emperor (empress)
90% of Japan's debt is to itself
Society only prospers when the old people plant seeds for the trees they know they will never enjoy the fruits of.
In only 40yrs following the Plaza Accord Japan went from King to Pauper with hat in hand tap dancing to colonial bankers.
Rising debt and declining population. Only God can save Japan now.
You think she care, she only care about her feelings
Look forward to going after it collapses 😂
They don’t play with debt!! Their game is “negative game”.
Like 90% of Japanese debt are owned by other Japanese. Interest payments stay inside Japan. This is a non-issue.
JAPANESE CENTURY OF HUMILIATION 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Same salary for 25 yrs. Feels bleak.
What a clown of PM
The yen will drop like a rock
Probably one of the worst Japanese pm ever in office.
Who benefits from military spending ? The economy especially domestic consumption have been sluggish for years, they should focus more on expanding people's purchasing power
New parliament isn't unusual there. Biden economists lied a lot and the bill's coming due. For now enjoy cheap macha!
She will probably blame the immigrants for this.
Oh, and btw, to immigrate to Japan you need to pay what's around 7,000 dollars. (just to get there. Yet apparently you are the reason the government spending is so high…)
Delusions of grandeur. Japan needs a pacifist socialist government.
I think the same selling has started with U.S. bonds due to massive mismanagement.
I love our president. Sir trump. Please do it. 200% tariff on everyone.
This is why I admired Lee Kwan yew. He absolutely insisted that those who serve the government must have the educational background to do so and he cultivated a culture of fiscal responsibility. Hopefully the generation that he left behind don't follow other countries or succumb to foreign political pressure
This is the worst puppet anyone can have 😂
海外の人は客観的だから冷静だし利口だわ
日本のコメ欄だとポピュリズムに染まってるから一億総玉砕までまた突っ走るだろう
いつまでも現実を直視せずに問題の先送りをして痛みを伴う構造改革からも逃げ続けてしまった
Its funny how foreigners hate this chick but she's popular amongst natives. Reminds me of trump.
What is the real problem of Japan? I don't think it's the chinese. Don't they need an investment? Don't they need trade deals? What are they thinking? Don't they have young people with bright future? America has enough to feed its people can't sustain others anymore.
Elect a clown and expect a circus! 😂

Her admin brings shame for worsening relations with China. We're not that different from India-Pakistan rivalry.
