No surprise here

The Olympic bid was won with a bribe so it's all very fitting

Trying to spin a horrible miss of 3 trillion forecast. Economy is not doing well

Thank goodness!

Stagflation with inflation eating away at our saving and earning. Thanks BOJ

Still a free country so good luck

Hear, see, speak no evil as the saying goes

The BOJ bought ETF again yesterday to prop up the market.

He's in the US military so the Japanese police will have to turn him over to the American MP's.

How I miss Mr Suga and Mr Noda as they were the only two PM's IMO who actually cared and did anything for the country rather than just securing their reelection.

The stealth intervention last night was bought up with many more attempts to break through the 150 and then 155 range to come. MOF and BOJ lack justification as it's pure yield differential fundamentals at play. Friday should be interesting with payroll # coming out. The irony is the more they intervene, the weaker the yen as they deplete their dollars reserves. Bunch of clowns at work here!

A regular theme within the LDP

Hopefully this will finally making room for talents with actually talent.

Never focusing on the real problems but rather band-aids. Pure incompetence!

Decades long money printing and irresponsible fiscal spending aka MMT. Guess debt does matter!

Rebalancing the country's finances and normalizing monetary policy would restore confidence in the yen which in turn would help with all the crazy inflation being imported. Accepting the reality of the fiscal and monetary situation is a first good step

Please deport him. He's a complete embarrassment and waste of air!

Hyperinflation vs asset bubble popping are the two options on the table. This is a repeat of what happened in the late 80's- early 90's. History doesn't always repeat but it sure does rhythm.

With one of the lowest percentage of (FDI) foreign direct investment in the WHOLE world, Kishida might want to address the issues as to why that is, first.

Tax payers money used to keep a scandal prone corrupt zombie company alive. What a waste!

The fraud was to the point of being comical. Better late than never.

Depressing reality of Japan's demographics and it's only gonna get worse.

Seems a bit like a page out of Shinzo Abe's book by going on an overseas PR campaign. The difference is the economy is in the gutter with the average family feeling much poorer than just a decade ago.

Good to see that companies are sending the right message. The new Johnny and Associate's president is alleged to have committed similar offenses as Mr Kitagawa as being reported by the BBC. Basically swapping one for another. Nothing seems to amaze me here anymore.

Debt and fiscal responsibility does matter. Hyperinflation vs asset price bubble popping are the two choices on the table. Kind of feel bad for Ueda as he inherited this mess from Kuroda.

Desperate for cash as he's leveraged up on loads of losing positions/investments. Strange that they are allowing an IPO of only 10 percent of all outstanding ARM shares. Would not touch with a ten foot pole.

This is very sad to hear. Wonder if worsening economic conditions is contributing to the rising numbers.

Self proclaimed! He must really believe the Japanese public are that stupid.

All bark and no bite. BOJ printing yen and MOF buying yen is insanity. Pumping the brakes and gas at the same time will eventually break your car.

Don't understand why Kishida is pushing so hard on the issue as there are legitimate concerns over the long term safety/ effects. Let market dynamics play out plus more affordable seafood for the Japanese public if indeed that it is completely safe.
