It is expected that a press conference will be held soon to explain the details.

China's economic slowdown and the meaning of Japan-China interest rate inversion [Chinese economy column]
2024-12-15 00:32:00
A reversal of interest rates between Japan and China has occurred in the world of interest rates. In mid-November, China's yield on 30-year government bonds fell below Japan's. This is essentially the first time that interest rates in China, which has continued to grow at a high rate, have fallen below those in Japan, which has long suffered from deflation. The background to this is China's economic slowdown, concerns about deflation, and a slowdown in medium- to long-term growth. Money that has nowhere to go due to the real estate slump is flowing into the bond market. (China Bureau Reporter Shimomura Naoto)
