Bank of Japan — JGB Holdings

JGB Holdings, Monthly

End-of-month holdings of Japanese government bonds on the Bank of Japan's balance sheet, exactly as published in the Bank's “Monetary Base and the BOJ's Transactions” table. Published in ¥100 million; displayed in ¥ trillion.

Gross Purchases and Redemptions

Each month's gross outright purchases stack above zero and redemptions below; the line is the net flow as published. A month with the line above zero means the Bank added JGBs on net. A small calculated balancing item makes the bars sum exactly to the line.

Series Detail

Every series ingested from the MD09 table, in ¥ trillion. End-of-month stocks and during-month flows are different measures and sit in separate tables. Latest values are official; changes, averages and sums are calculated from them.
