Japan's new debt management panel to meet on Monday

The five-member study group, as it is called, consists of outside experts, including the head of fixed income group at Mitsubishi UFJ (NYSE:MUFG) Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) Securities and professors at prominent universities.

“While receiving opinions and advice from highly knowledgeable persons, we will begin discussions including technical aspects,” the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday, without elaborating.
