TREE NEWS update: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Japan is no longer in a state of deflation, crediting the effects of Abenomics. The remark, reported on Monday, marks the premier’s assessment that the country has exited a prolonged period of falling prices. Takaichi did not provide further details in the statement.
Japan PM Takaichi: Japan No Longer in Deflation Thanks to Abenomics
AI take
A sitting prime minister declaring an end to deflation is a notable framing shift for Japan, given how long the exit has been debated, and it carries weight for the yen, JGBs and rate-normalization expectations. The claim rests on Abenomics' legacy rather than any new policy detail, and Takaichi offered none, so the market signal is rhetorical for now. The open question is whether this framing is followed by concrete fiscal or monetary coordination, and how the BOJ treats a political endorsement of reflation when setting policy.
