Nope. If they've just spent the reserve they built up, I haven't heard about it.

But that's quite irrelevant really, as the point is that they made that reserve in the first place.

According to last years figures Japan is second only to Zimbawe in terms of public debt.

Luckily for Japan it's public has a massive appetite for buying it's debt so the government has plenty money to spend.
