Japan’s foreign bond investment outflows narrowed, with the latest figures showing a smaller net selling position compared with the previous reading. According to data updated on 25 March 2026, Japan’s “Foreign Bonds Buying” indicator improved to -635.3B from a prior level of -986.9B.
While the indicator remains in negative territory—signaling that Japanese investors are still net sellers of foreign bonds—the reduced outflow suggests a moderation in selling pressure. The shift from -986.9B to -635.3B may indicate a tentative stabilisation in overseas bond allocations by Japanese institutions and investors.
