The risk facing Japanese banks from their vast holdings of government bonds has been underlined by the chief executive of the country’s largest bank who said it would struggle to reduce its exposure.
日本最大银行三菱东京日联银行(BTMU)的行长平野信行(Nobuyuki Hirano)表示,该行将很难缩减其日本国债敞口。平野信行的这番言论,突显出了日本银行因持有巨额日本国债而面临的风险。
Nobuyuki Hirano, chief executive of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi[BTMU], admitted that the bank’s Y40tn ($485bn) holdings of Japanese government bonds were a major risk but said he was powerless to do much about it. “This is analysts’ main concern, he told the Financial Times. “A default of JGBs would have a severe impact on us. But we need to be responsible to keep that market in order.
平野信行承认,三菱东京日联银行持有的40万亿日元(合4850亿美元)日本国债是一个巨大风险,但他表示自己目前无力改变这一现实。他告诉英国《金融时报》说:“分析师们对此极为担忧。日本国债一旦违约,将对我们产生严重影响。然而,我们需要担负保持市场秩序的责任。
According to data produced by the Bank for International Settlements, and published last week by the Bank of England, the holdings of JGBs by Japan’s banks equate to 900 per cent of their tier one capital, compared with about 25 per cent for UK banks’ exposure to gilts and 100 per cent for US banks’ exposure to US Treasuries.
