Summary
Japan set a 2040 goal for households to hold 40% of their financial assets in stocks, investment trusts and bonds, marking a push to move savings into markets.
Tokyo is weighing looser financial regulations and public-private talks on AI as part of a broader effort to channel more retail money into investment products.
The plan builds on Japan's NISA tax-free investment program, which has been promoted to individual investors as the government tries to deepen household participation in capital markets.
