Japan’s current political divisions could pose significant challenges to the successful implementation of economic policies championed by Takaichi. With the ruling coalition lacking a unified mandate and opposition parties gaining influence, legislative gridlock may delay or dilute key reforms. These include proposed tax adjustments, fiscal stimulus measures, and structural changes aimed at boosting productivity. Given the fragile balance in parliament, even minor disagreements could escalate, making consensus difficult. As a result, investors and market analysts are growing cautious about the timeline and effectiveness of these economic initiatives. Without strong cross-party cooperation, the government may struggle to respond swiftly to domestic and global economic pressures.
