2 What s New The 48 th meeting of the Advisory Council on Government Debt Management The 48 th meeting of the Advisory Council on Government Debt Management was held on October 22, 218. The agenda was as follows: (Agenda) 1. BOJ s Monetary Policy 2. Current Debt Management Policy The MOF starts discussions for the FY219 JGB annual issuance plan, considering the opinions mentioned in the meeting. [Summary of the MOF explanation on current debt management policy] 1 JGB issuance based on medium- to long-term (mid-long) market demands The basic objectives of the debt management policy have been: - Ensure stable and smooth issuance of JGBs and - Minimize medium- to long-term financing costs. In order to achieve them, it is necessary for the MOF to issue JGBs based on market demands. However, excessive response to temporary demands may raise funding costs by harming predictability for market participants or causing distortions in the market. Therefore, it is even more important to aim at stable and predictable issuance of JGBs considering mid- to long-term market demand. In this regard, the MOF showed expected supply and demand trends of JGBs in the mid- to long-term as follows. 2 JGB issuance and its outlook (supply side) Under the low interest rate environment, the annual issuance amount of super-long-term bonds has increased in recent years to reduce the future interest rate risks, while that of shortand medium-term bonds has decreased. As a result, the outstanding amount of super-longterm bonds has increased significantly and that of medium-term bonds has decreased. -2-
3 3 Investors trend (demand side) The MOF presented an analysis of the JGB investment trends of banks, the main investors for medium-term bonds, and life insurance companies, the main investors for super-long-term bonds. While banks had decreased JGB holdings substantially since FY213, it seems that they have been maintaining the amount recently. On the other hand, although life insurance companies had increased their super-long-term bond holdings, the increase of the outstanding amount is currently slowing down. Also, the future trend of their JGB demand is hard to foresee at the moment. After that, the MOF presented a duration analysis of private financial institutions liabilities, as a potential funding source for the respective Japanese and US bond markets. In the analysis, the MOF calculated the average duration of the private financial institutions liabilities, consisting of loan-deposit gap (private depositary institutions), insurance liability (insurance companies) and pension liability (private pensions DB) in Japan and the US, respectively, under certain hypothetical conditions. The analysis shows: - In Japan, indirect finance comprises a large part of the financial sector, which makes the amount of the loan-deposit gap of the private depositary institutions substantial. Therefore, the average duration of the private financial institutions liabilities is shorter than that of the US. In addition, the trend of the duration is declining. - In the US, as the loan-deposit gap increased after the financial crisis, the average duration of the private financial institutions liabilities declined. However, it has stabilized recently.

4 4 Liquidity of JGB market - Investors JGB transaction volume and the turnover ratio seem to be showing a slight recovery in terms of JGB market liquidity. In addition, the Bond Market Survey by the BOJ shows some recovery while the level of bond market functioning is still seen as low by market participants. - The JGB market liquidity from a micro perspective, issue-by-issue tradability, seems to remain low. Though the GC-SC spread was stable after the spike in March 217, it has been elevated recently. Usage of the BOJ s SLF has increased. - The tightening of supply-demand balance for specific issues occurs not only in the on-therun issues of 1-year or 5-year bonds, but also in the off-the-run issues because the BOJ purchases JGBs in a wide range in its operations. 5 Estimates for JGB issuance plan The actual revenues from JGB issuance have tended to exceed the issuance amount set in the JGB issuance plan because of conservative estimates and the recent low interest rate environment. The MOF explained how it has been addressing the refinement of estimates in formulating the JGB issuance plan. [Opinions from the participants] There were various opinions on the MOF s analysis of the average liability duration of the financial institutions. Many of the members noted that analysis of JGB demand from a macro perspective is important as well as the respective analysis of JGB demand by banks and insurance companies. A member added that it is important to consider the difference of the asset duration and the liability duration from a macro perspective for the FY219 JGB issuance plan because it would have long-term effects on the JGB market. Another member mentioned that the Japanese financial sector is holding interest rate risk because the average term to maturity of JGBs has been longer than that of the liabilities of the financial institutions in Japan. However, due to the JGB purchase by the Bank of Japan, the situation has changed. Under the recent situation, the BOJ seems to be bearing interest rate risk rather than the private sector. Furthermore, to adjust the average term to maturity of JGB stock to the global standard, another member mentioned, the policy of decreasing the super-long-term bonds issuance and increasing the short- to medium-term bonds issuance over a medium term is necessary. On the other hand, another member remarked that it is important to bear in mind that if the long-term interest rate rises, the share of the liability of the insurance companies could rise among the financial institutions liability as a whole, considering the rising demand for health and care insurance and pensions backed by the aging population. -4-
5 Monthly Topics The Bank of Japan s TANKAN (September 218 Survey) On October 1, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) released the TANKAN ( Short-Term Economic Survey of Enterprises in Japan ), quarterly survey of more than 9, enterprises. The points are as follows: The index for all enterprises declines from 16 to 15 in September, while the index for nonmanufacturing of small enterprises shows its highest level in decades which is equal to the number of March 218. The December forecast figures show some declines, mainly in medium-sized and small enterprises.

6 IR Office In October 218, Mr. Ohata, Director for Debt Management and JGB Investor Relations, Mr. Suzuki, Section Chief of Overseas JGB Investor Relations, and Ms. Sato, Officer, made a business trip to Asia, Hong Kong and Seoul, to provide timely and precise information on JGBs, the Japanese economy, etc. We visited 11 investors in the two cities. During these meetings, we mainly explained the current Japanese economy and debt management and then exchanged views on the Japanese economy, the JGB market and debt management policy with them. Although it was the first IR tour for the new team of the Office of Debt Management and JGB Investor Relations, these meetings were very fruitiful, thanks to the investors deep and broad knowledge about the Japanese economy and the JGB market. So, we would like to express our gratitude to the investors for taking their precious time to meet us. Sometimes, it suddenly started raining heavily when moving to the next meeting place. The weather was unpredictable, but this experience was also a good and unforgettable one for the team.
