EconomyJapan’s First Major Economic Policy Under Takaichi Takes Shape Amid Market Concerns

Japan’s first Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform since the Takaichi administration began is expected to be approved by the Cabinet in July. The government is promoting what it calls “responsible proactive fiscal policy” while national debt stands at roughly 1,100 trillion yen. The policy will outline measures aimed at future growth. It also examines the investment effects of 17 fields, including semiconductors and artificial intelligence, along with preparations for a weaker yen and inflation. Rising interest rates are raising market concerns.
