* Japan taps household savings to shore up bond demand as yields rise and BOJ support fades: Japan is turning to its $7 trillion household savings pool to support government bond demand as central bank buying wanes, planning new retail-focused products and incentives. Higher yields have revived interest, with retail JGB sales jumping 30.5% in 2025 to the highest level since 2007, helped by 10-year yields crossing 2% and 30-year yields moving above 3%. With households holding less than 2% of outstanding JGBs and much savings parked in cash, policymakers and asset managers see scope to expand retail participation through redesigned products, long-duration bond funds, and tax incentives such as NISA eligibility. The finance ministry is also considering widening retail access to non-profits and unlisted firms, aiming to broaden the investor base and stabilise the bond market amid rising borrowing needs and reduced BOJ support.
