The total financial assets held by all households at the end of December rose 3.1 percent from a year earlier to yen1,547 trillion, the Bank of Japan said March 25.

The rise was credited partly to higher market values for foreign currency-denominated deposits and stocks following the government's verbal bludgeoning of the yen and subsequent rise in share prices, the central bank said. (Kyodo News)
