Japan's 10-year government bond yield held steady at 2.2% as Q4 2025 GDP growth was only 0.1%, below the expected 0.4%. Consumer spending also rose by just 0.1%, indicating weak domestic demand amid high inflation. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, following her recent election victory, plans to stimulate growth through fiscal measures, including a two-year cut in the 8% sales tax on food, without issuing new bonds, relying instead on subsidies and non-tax revenues for funding.
