"My government will end the long-term practice of excessive budget savings and insufficient investment in the future. We will push, push and push the growth button again" - said Sanae Takaichi. At the same time Takaichi sought to reassure investors afraid about the state of nipponese public finances and the weakening yen. She promised to prosecute a "responsible fiscal policy", including a two-year frost of 8% of the food consumption taxation without issuing fresh deficit bonds. The government plans to focus investments on strategical sectors specified as artificial intelligence, semiconductors and shipbuilding.
