Does your car insurance cover what really matters?
Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to get the coverage you actually need.
Despite this reduction, the Bank of Japan still holds 52% of all Japanese government bonds.
Government-controlled entities also hold a significant share, meaning private ownership of Japan’s debt remains limited.
