Japan banks raise rates for large deposits, eyeing property sale proceeds

Japanese banks are raising interest rates on large deposits to attract funds from real estate sales and inheritances, aiming to bolster their lending operations. This strategy targets high-net-worth individuals who hold significant amounts of money from such sources. While these higher rates appeal to wealthy clients, they offer limited benefits to smaller depositors. The move reflects banks' efforts to secure more capital for profitable loans amid competitive financial markets.
