Exclusive-Japan to consider trimming super-long bond issuance, sources say
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan will consider trimming issuance of super-long bonds in the wake of recent sharp rises in yields for the notes, two sources told Reuters on Tuesday, as policymakers seek to soothe market concerns over worsening government finances. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) will consider tweaking the composition of its bond programme for the current fiscal year, which could involve cuts to its super-long bond issuance, said the sources who had direct knowledge of the plan. The MOF will make a decision after holding discussions with market participants around mid- to late-June, the sources said.
