Japan's Takaichi proposes bridge bonds backed by future BOJ ETF sale profits

A special account would issue bridge government bonds, with future ETF sale profits designated for repayment. According to Nikkei and Bloomberg reporting cited in the article, the funding would materialize gradually through asset sales and the central bank's surplus payments to the government.
