Abstract

Japan is a major holder of foreign sovereign debt, thanks to its attractive interest rate differential. In 2022, the increase in the cost of hedging against currency risk led to a partial repatriation of Japanese capital. Despite fears, this disinvestment trend did not continue in 2023 and 2024 and had no discernible impact on foreign yields. Le Japon est un important détenteur de dettes souveraines étrangères, en raison d’un différentiel de taux attractif. En 2022, la hausse du coût de couverture contre le risque de change a provoqué un rapatriement partiel des capitaux japonais. Malgré les craintes, le mouvement de désinvestissement ne s’est pas poursuivi en 2023 et 2024 et n’a pas eu d’effet perceptible sur les taux étrangers.
