Japan's Takaichi Says Government Will Continue Coordinating With BOJ on Price Stability and Growth

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the government would continue coordinating with the Bank of Japan to achieve price stability and sustained economic growth, according to a joint statement. According to Sina Finance, she made the remarks at the end of a meeting of the government's Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy. Former Bank of Japan official Masazumi Wakatabe and other private-sector members submitted a proposal to the council, saying Japan was making steady progress in moving away from a long-term deflationary economic structure. The proposal also said the yen had hovered around 150 per dollar without triggering a sharp acceleration in inflation, and that Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio had improved the most among G7 economies in 2026.
