Japanese bonds - FT

--Japan is preparign to flog more debt to fund its stimulus, addign extra $110 bnm to $1,430 bn, 200% of GDP --a shortfal lin tax revenue would requrie mroe debt to plug the gap --only 7% of JGBs are sold overases. But domestic demand is finite. Houlseholds hold 5% of JGBs and balk at the new issance --last year, the gonverment intially rekoned retail investors would be good for $62 bn but in teh evnt they bought just $23 bn. --corporates such as Post Office will pare back as well --only the buyger of last report is still in the game. --inverted curve ( 2 vs 20s ) imply the concern over supply
