Join us for a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker with Japan Minister of State for Economic and Fiscal Policy Minoru Kiuchi
Japan is at a pivotal economic moment. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government is pursuing an ambitious agenda aimed at revitalizing growth through investment, while also confronting pressure to restore fiscal health. Policymakers are grappling with a weaker yen, rising government borrowing costs and growing scrutiny from financial markets over the sustainability of Japan's public finances.
Kiuchi is tasked with helping shape the administration's strategy to boost Japan's long-term growth potential while maintaining confidence in its fiscal framework - in an economy emerging from decades of low inflation and sluggish growth.
Reuters Chief Correspondent, Japan Markets, Rocky Swift will sit down with Kiuchi at LSEG Insight Tokyo to discuss the government's approach and the outlook for Japan's economy, including the challenges and opportunities facing the country amid shifting global economic conditions and heightened volatility in financial markets.
