Prime Minister Takaichi's government is stepping up English-language communications to reassure foreign investors worried about its fiscal policy management. The minister in charge of economic revitalization gave an English speech at an LSEG event in Tokyo last Thursday, and Finance Minister Katayama has addressed FX-market questions in English at recent events. Tokyo rewrote the English version of this year's Basic Policy after an earlier draft stoked concern that the government might shift to a looser fiscal stance, which could accelerate rises in long-term JGB yields and weaken the yen. Officials are considering English releases of Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy documents; some overseas market participants have already noted the change in communications.
