Report: Japan Plans to Improve Foreign Reserve Management; Mizuho Economist Says "This Means U.S. Treasuries Will Be Sold"

```

A draft growth strategy report shows that the Japanese government plans to study how to improve the management of its $1.3 trillion foreign exchange reserves, which are regarded as "ammunition" for potential future interventions in the yen exchange rate. These plans reflect the Japanese government's desire to increase the returns on its foreign exchange reserves. Japan is the largest overseas holder of U.S. Treasury bonds. Saisuke Sakai, Senior Economist at Mizuho Research Institute, said: "If you want to effectively utilize foreign exchange reserves, that means selling U.S. Treasury bonds. With U.S. long-term interest rates rising, is this feasible considering the relationship with the United States?" (Reuters)
