財務省概算要求一般会計

Quick Look

財務省は4日、各省庁からの来年度予算概算要求で一般会計総額が過去最大の143兆656億円になったと発表。高市政権の「責任ある積極財政」への懸念から長期金利が30年ぶりに3%に達し、財政規律への不信が高まれば国債売りが進み長期金利上昇に拍車がかかる恐れがある。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

財務省は4日、8月末までに各省庁から寄せられた来年度予算の概算要求で、一般会計の総額が過去最大の143兆656億円になったと発表した。金融市場では、高市早苗政権の「責任ある積極財政」への懸念などから長期金利が1日に30年ぶりに3%を付けた。実際の予算額はさらに増える可能性もあり、財政規律への不信が高まれば、国債が売られて長期金利の上昇に拍車がかかる恐れがある。

今回の要求規模は、26年度当初予算（122兆3092億円）を20兆7564億円も上回る。高市首相肝いりの「強く豊かな日本」投資枠で各省庁からの要求額に上限を設けなかったことが大きい。この投資枠を活用した要求額は12兆1730億円だった。特別会計も含めると14兆2345億円にのぼる。

要求額が増えた背景には、高市政権の予算編成改革の一環で、これまでは補正予算で計上していた経費の一部が盛り込まれていることもある。このため財務省は、25年度補正予算（18兆3034億円）と26年度当初予算を合わせた140兆6126億円と比べると、増加幅は2兆4530億円にとどまると説明する。

SoftBank Group issues 1 trillion yen worth of corporate bonds from individual investors, with interest rates rising at record scale

In September 2019, SoftBank Group borrowed 400 billion yen in unsecured corporate bonds from individual investors at an annual rate of 1.380%, and after repayment on September 17th, it will borrow 1 trillion yen in new debt. The corporate bond for individuals announced on August 24th has a term of 7 years, a tentative interest rate of 4.30% to 4.90% per year, and a tote bag will be given for each purchase of 1 million yen. The reasons for borrowing from individuals at high interest rates despite the 83 trillion yen value of the company's stock holdings are cited as collateralized loans for Arm and Softbank shares, adjustments through T-Mobile's color contract, and a future investment of $64.6 billion in OpenAI.

Long-term government bond interest rates rise globally, and remain at high levels in Europe as well. Japanese and U.S. finance ministers confirm cooperation to stabilize the market.

While interest rates on long-term government bonds are rising worldwide, the yield on 10-year government bonds in the UK remains at 5.2%, the highest level since August 2007. France and Germany also reached high levels, reflecting concerns about a resurgence of inflation due to rising interest rates in Japan and the US, high energy prices due to the worsening situation in the Middle East, and a sense of caution about fiscal expansion. Mizuho Bank points out that the high proportion of British bonds owned by foreign investors makes them more likely to be linked to global interest rate trends. In addition, the ECB remains cautious, saying that the concentration of investment in AI and the increase in corporate bond issuance by US IT giants could loosen the supply and demand for government bonds, and that it is necessary to carefully monitor the impact.

7-Eleven begins selling apparel to compete with FamilyMart's success

7-Eleven will collaborate with ANDST HD to begin trial apparel sales from a few hundred stores, with plans to expand to approximately 22,000 stores nationwide. Family Mart will be rolling out ``convenience wear'' starting in 2021, and aims to exceed 20 billion yen in sales in 2025 and 30 billion yen in 2026. Seven's existing store sales remained flat at 99.6% to 100.6% compared to the same month last year from April to July 2026, and the number of customers is on the decline. FamilyMart has followed a similar trend, with sales increasing for the past 57 consecutive months. Seven is looking for hit products to stop customer loss through apparel.
