norinchukin bank shifts focus to japanese government bonds amid rising interest rates
Norinchukin Bank's new CEO, Taro Kitabayashi, stated that Japanese government bonds (JGBs) are now a viable investment option due to rising inflation and interest rates. The bank has shifted its strategy after selling off significant foreign bond holdings, previously comprising 50-60% of its assets, and is now exploring investments in JGBs, equities, and real estate. Despite forecasting a 1.9 trillion yen loss for the fiscal year ending March 2024, it anticipates a modest profit in the following year from new investments.
