The Ministry of Finance (MOF) will visit London and the Netherlands as the latest stops in its worldwide tour to promote Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) overseas. The Ministry will visit London on February 24, 25, 26 and 27, and will visit a number of cities in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, on March 2 and 3.
The MOF said in December 2008 that it has visited 32 cities around the world since it started touring to promote JGBs in January 2005. It is one of the MOF’s stated aims to contribute to the diversification of the JGB investor base by promoting JGB holdings by foreign investors. The most recent leg of the MOF’s tour took it to the Middle East in mid-January.
