What does Takaichi's big election win mean for Japan's economy?
Inflatie
Japanese stocks swept to record peaks while bonds slid and the yen sagged to an all-time low against the Swiss franc after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi scored a landslide win in Sunday's (Feb 8) snap election. Analysts say the market sees greater momentum for Takaichi's policy agenda, particularly her fiscal policy. Naomi Fink, chief global strategist at Amova Asset Management, tells CNA's Asia First the challenge for Takaichi now lies in balancing inflation control with campaign promises.
