Original: Echoing U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's recent comment, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Japan no longer needs

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Japan no longer needs policy aimed at stimulating inflation, arguing the economy is no longer in deflation. Her remarks echo a recent comment by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The statement is drawing attention for its implications for Japanese monetary policy and any future shift away from years of reflationary economic strategy.

Why now: Her remarks signal a possible turning point in Japan's long-running deflation-fighting economic policy and align with recent US commentary.
