Odaily Planet Daily News: Citibank Chief Currency Strategist Osamu Takashima: Sanae Takaichi said she is the successor to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. However, there are many differences between 10 years ago and now. 10 years ago, Japan faced deflationary pressure and a strong exchange rate. However, now Japan faces the problems of inflation and a weak exchange rate. Therefore, the situation is completely opposite to 10 years ago. Especially in terms of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy, I don't think she will pressure the Bank of Japan not to raise interest rates. The problems of the Japanese economy are inflation and a weak yen, both of which are unpopular among the Japanese people. Therefore, if she puts political pressure on the Bank of Japan and the yen depreciates further, inflation will worsen. She may lose the support of the Japanese people. This will be an extremely risky game for her. (Jinshi)
