Corporate bond issuance in Japan reached a record ¥16.7 trillion in the financial year through March as interest rates climbed to their highest levels in around three decades. The rise is raising borrowing costs for issuers while drawing investors toward fixed-income securities, The Japan Times reported.
The changes are occurring as firms prioritize capital spending to drive revenue growth instead of cost-cutting.
Japan is returning to an inflationary environment, according to the report. Noriaki Nomura, head of the debt capital markets division at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, said the developments are setting in motion a new cycle of capital flows.
