TOKYO, June 26 (Reuters) - Japan's long-term interest rates are very low because markets believe fiscal reform will make progress, but any backtracking could heighten chances of spikes in bond yields, a senior Bank of Japan official said on Tuesday.
"At present, long-term rates are extremely low because market participants believe the large fiscal deficit won't be left unattended and that fiscal reform will be implemented," Kazuo Momma, a BOJ executive director in charge of overseeing monetary policy, told a parliamentary committee.
