Defying Gravity: How Long Will Japanese Government Bond Prices Stay High?
Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio is the highest among G7 nations, yet its government bond yields remain ultra-low and stable—a phenomenon that defies economic gravity. In this deep dive, we break down a milestone 2012 academic paper by Takeo Hoshi and Takatoshi Ito, which reveals the shocking truth behind this illusion. Discover how Japan's 'debt ceiling' is determined by domestic savings, why aging populations are silently draining the pool, and the terrifying timeline—by 2024—when the magic could end. We explore the real triggers of a crisis, from political failures to imported inflation, and the brutal solutions needed to avoid collapse. If you think your country is safe, think again. Watch to understand the ticking time bomb that could reshape global finance.
