Credit, made in Japan
Article Abstract:
Japanese monetary policy has been relaxed, and this has led to a drop in bond yields in Japan, in addition to boosting the international bond market. Japanese buyers accounted for 50% of US Treasury bonds bought by foreign buyers from Jan 1995 to Jul 1995 inclusive. The Bank of Japan has been a major buyer in this market. These purchases help push down the value of the Japanese yen, and so promote economic recovery in Japan. The purchases are thus likely to continue until the Japanese economy is stronger.

Japan: in the vanguard
Article Abstract:
The Tokyo stock exchange, Japan, has changed in the six months to Feb 1996, according to Kleinwort Benson. The Bank of Japan has helped boost liquidity, and companies are supplying capital to the Japanese economy, while households are moving into checking accounts from deposit accounts. Corporate profits look set to improve in real terms. The Japanese stock market is likely to stay liquidity driven until a major change is denoted by Japanese bond yields.
