○Development of Super Long-Term Bond Market
➣In order to enhance the liquidity in super-long term bonds, the total issuance amounts of 30-year and 40-year bonds are increased in response to the greater needs for long-term investments arising mainly from life insurance companies and pension funds
○Promotion of JGB Holding by Retail Investors
➣Improvement in product designs of JGBs for retail investors
・ Revisions of the rate-setting formula for 10-year floating-rate intending to prevent an excessive deterioration
of the interest rate in a low interest rate environment of the market (reference rate - 0.8% ⇒ reference rate × 0.66)
・ Unification of the conditions for redemption before maturity across the different products of JGBs for retail investors by shortening the lock-up period for the 5-year fixed-rate bonds (2 years ⇒ 1 year)
○Buy-back by Partial Liquidation of Government Debt Consolidation Fund (GDCF)
➣The total Buy-back amount from the market is approximately 3 trillion yen in FY2011 From an administrative standpoint, part of the Buy-back operation will be funded by liquidating the GDCF, which is in line with the outcome of the recent public budget screening initiative carried out on special accounts of national budget
(note1)Such Buy-back operation based on a partial liquidation of the GDCF is also carried out in FY2010, amounting up
