  4. FY2025ReframedAnnual report

    「Japan's long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, was in the 0.7% range at the beginning of the fiscal year but remained around 1% during the first half of the year against the backdrop of the lifting of the negative interest rate policy and other factors. Thereafter, it generally trended upward amid expectations of additional rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, exceeding 1.5% in early March, before ending the fiscal year in the high-1.4% range.」

    The description changed from an environment centered on low and negative interest rates to an earnings environment based on the lifting of negative interest rates and rising domestic interest rates.
  5. FY2023-Q3ReframedAnnual report

    「In the financial markets, domestic interest rates remained in the mid-0.2% range as the Bank of Japan continued its monetary easing policy and the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, remained low. After the Bank of Japan decided at its December Monetary Policy Meeting to expand the permitted fluctuation range for long-term interest rates to ±0.5%, the rate rose to the 0.4% range.」

    Japan's long-term interest rates shifted from their previous low levels to an environment in which they rose to the 0.4% range following the Bank of Japan's expansion of the permitted fluctuation range.
  6. FY2023-Q1ReframedAnnual report

    「In the financial markets, domestic interest rates came under increasing upward pressure as global interest rates continued to rise, but the Bank of Japan maintained its monetary easing policy and the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, remained in the low 0.2% range.」

    The description changed from one centered on low, stable rates in negative territory to an environment in which domestic long-term interest rates also came under upward pressure as global interest rates rose.
  7. FY2022-Q3ReframedAnnual report

    「In Japan, the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, rose to above 0.1% toward the latter half of October under the influence of rising US long-term interest rates. In the US, as high inflation prompted expectations of a shift in monetary easing policy, the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year Treasury yield, temporarily rose to 1.70%. From the latter half of November, rates declined due to the impact of the Omicron variant and other factors, and in December the long-term interest rate temporarily fell to the mid-1.3% range.」

    The description changed to a market environment in which domestic and overseas long-term interest rates rose and then declined, amid continued low interest rates and growing expectations of inflation and a shift away from monetary easing.
  8. FY2022-Q2ReframedAnnual report

    「In Japan, the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, was above 0.1% in early April but gradually declined under the influence of US long-term interest rates to 0% to 0.05%. However, in the latter half of September, it rose to the 0.08% range due to rising US long-term interest rates and the Nikkei average, as well as concerns about increased government bond issuance associated with a large supplementary budget.」

    Japan's long-term interest rates fluctuated at low levels, declining temporarily to 0% to 0.05% before rising to the 0.08% range in the latter half of September.

  10. FY2021ReframedAnnual report

    「In Japan, the long-term interest rate, represented by the 10-year government bond yield, temporarily rose amid expectations that the Bank of Japan might expand the permitted range for long-term interest rates at its March Monetary Policy Meeting, as well as due to rising US long-term interest rates, but remained broadly around 0.1%.」

    The description changed from one centered on negative territory to one of a low-interest-rate environment in which rates remained broadly around 0.1%.
  11. FY2021-Q3RestatedAnnual report
