普通国債残高、１０００兆円超え　過去最大更新―２２年末

　財務省は１０日、普通国債の発行残高が２０２２年末時点で１００５兆７７７２億円になったと発表した。昨年９月末比１１兆９８０７億円増加し、過去最大を更新した。１０００兆円の大台を超えるのは初めてで、財政悪化が一段と進んだ。
　普通国債は、建設国債、赤字国債、復興債、借換債の総称。普通国債に借入金や政府短期証券などを合わせた「国の借金」残高は５兆６１９６億円増の１２５６兆９９９２億円となった。（2023/02/10-18:05）

The outstanding balance of ordinary Japanese government bonds stood at 1,005,777.2 billion yen at the end of 2022, topping 1,000 trillion yen for the first time, the Ministry of Finance said Friday.
   The year-end balance grew by 11,980.7 billion yen from the end of September last year, indicating that the country's fiscal position deteriorated further.
   Ordinary JGBs include construction bonds, deficit-covering bonds, reconstruction bonds and refunding bonds.
   The outstanding balance of "national debt," which includes borrowings and financing bills as well as ordinary JGBs, rose by 5,619.6 billion yen to 1,256,999.2 billion yen.
   As the Bank of Japan appears to be moving toward revising its current monetary easing policy, a possible rise in JGB yields could increase the burden of JGB redemption, making the government's fiscal management even more difficult.
