TOKYO: Japan’s life insurers are likely to gradually buy more domestic bonds in the fiscal second half, while awaiting clarity on the central bank’s interest-rate-hike timeline, strategists say.
With combined invested assets of about 388 trillion yen (US$2.6 trillion) according to Life Insurance Association of Japan data, the firms will lay out their investment plans starting this week for the six months ending March 2025.
