Japan could increase its purchases of bonds from the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) with the aim of supporting funding from the European rescue fund and contributing to the stabilization of the area. The intention was made known by Osamu Fujimura, head of cabinet of the Japanese government. As reported by Bloomberg, in fact, the Japanese exponent explained that "Europe's debt problem is very important for Japan in terms of restoring confidence on the markets".
Last September 27 Jun Azumi, Minister of Finance, had assured that "if there were some scheme that could help ease tensions around the world and on the financial markets on the bailout of Greece, I would not rule out the possibility that Japan could share some burden".
