Japan’s political landscape is shifting with Sanae Takaichi poised to become the next Prime Minister. Her focus on reviving the nation’s stalled growth echoes former PM Shinzo Abe’s ‘Abenomics’ approach, which involved monetary easing and government stimulus. This potential for renewed stimulus may signal a re-entry into the Japanese equity market. Japan’s inflation is currently driven by rising raw material costs, fueled in part by the yen’s eight-month low against the dollar. 236.7% of Japan’s gross debt to GDP ratio underscores the nation’s high debt burden but a resilient financial structure anchored by the Bank of Japan and a domestic bond market provides insulation for these policies. )
