Core Viewpoint - The election of Japan's first female Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, marks a significant political shift, but she faces complex economic challenges, including high inflation and substantial government debt [1][3]. Economic Context - Takaichi inherits a situation characterized by high inflation, with Japan's inflation rate exceeding the 2% target for several months, contrasting with the deflationary environment faced by her predecessor, Shinzo Abe [1][2]. - Japan's government debt stands at 240% of GDP, the highest among major economies, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability [1]. Policy Proposals - Takaichi plans to implement active fiscal policies, including the issuance of deficit bonds to address high inflation, although this could exacerbate the deficit [2]. - She aims to support wage increases for employees, particularly in struggling small and medium-sized enterprises, through tax reductions, though skepticism exists regarding the effectiveness of this approach [2]. - Proposed measures to alleviate consumer burdens include lowering gasoline taxes and increasing local subsidies, but the sustainability of these initiatives under Japan's strict fiscal discipline is uncertain [2]. Political Landscape - Takaichi's ascension is seen as a potential shift in the Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) image, but historical precedents suggest that newly elected leaders often adopt more pragmatic and moderate policies once in office [2][3]. - The likelihood of a full-scale return to "Abenomics 2.0" is considered low, with expectations leaning towards more moderate, growth-oriented policies in the short term [2].

Economic Overview - On October 21, 2025, Sanna Marin became Japan's first female Prime Minister, coinciding with a critical phase of structural reform and cyclical adjustment in the Japanese economy[1] - Japan's inflation has gradually moved out of a long-term low range, with the monthly CPI maintaining a year-on-year growth of 2%-4% since April 2022[2] - Average wage growth from spring negotiations is expected to exceed 5% for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025, marking the highest level in nearly 30 years[2] Inflation Dynamics - Current inflation is primarily driven by short-term factors such as rising food, energy, and import prices, with the CPI growth rate at 3.1% in July 2025, while excluding energy and food, the inflation rate is only 1.6%[2] - The wage-price interaction mechanism in Japan is still fragile, with potential disruptions from external shocks affecting corporate profits and investment willingness[2] Economic Policy Framework - Sanna Marin's economic policy, termed "Marin Economics," continues the legacy of Abenomics, emphasizing active policy intervention to address structural stagnation[1] - The policy framework retains Abenomics' "three arrows": accommodative monetary policy, expansionary fiscal policy, and structural reforms, but with a stronger focus on strategic investments and structural guidance[1][6] Market Implications - If Marin's policies are effectively implemented, fiscal expansion may increase government bond supply, potentially steepening the yield curve[1] - The normalization pace of Japan's monetary policy may slow, exerting short-term pressure on the yen, but medium-term support is expected as the U.S. enters a rate-cutting cycle[1] Regional Impact - Japanese asset performance has significant spillover effects on Asian markets, with structural trends in the Japanese stock market often signaling global capital reallocation towards Asian risk assets[1][6]

日元大幅贬值的原因之一是市场担心高市当选首相可能干预日本央行决策、阻止央行加息、延缓货币政 策正常化步伐。去年秋天竞选自民党总裁时，高市就曾指责日本央行加息是"愚蠢行为"。当选自民党总 裁后，高市明确表示,"无论是财政政策还是货币政策，必须承担责任的都是日本政府"，央行只考虑和 实施最佳货币政策措施。 日本媒体和专家纷纷表示，鉴于政局不稳、政权更迭等因素，日本央行在10月底货币政策会议上决定加 息的可能性大幅下降。这些分析和预期进一步助长了日元贬值趋势。 近年来，日本物价持续上涨。根据总务省公布的数据，截至今年8月，日本核心消费价格指数（CPI） 连续48个月同比上升。今年1月至7月，核心CPI涨幅连续7个月保持在3%以上。应对物价上涨已成为日 本朝野各党最重视的议题。日本媒体和专家普遍认为，在物价高企局面下，如果高市采取"安倍经济 学"式的扩张性财政和金融政策，恐将推动物价进一步上涨。 高市21日在记者会上再次强调，为应对物价上涨，新政府将迅速推动汽油税和柴油税下调。此外，政府 将出台政策强化对困难中小企业、医疗护理机构的援助，扩大对地方政府的转移支付，通过减税和扩大 开支等积极财政政策应对通胀、提振经济。 ...

日本首位女首相诞生。 当地时间10月21日，日本自民党总裁高市早苗在临时国会众议院和参议院首相指名选举中均胜出，当选 日本第104任首相。 上海市日本学会会长、上海对外经贸大学日本经济研究中心主任陈子雷也向21世纪经济报道记者表示， 维新会与自民党结盟能实现其政策目标的最大化，包括指定大阪为"副首都"的构想，废除企业和团体政 治献金等问题。 虽然在大选前夕，高市早苗已基本锁定胜局，但她的拜相之路颇为曲折。10月4日当选自民党总裁后， 高市早苗相继遭遇执政联盟破裂、被在野党联合狙击等困局。直至本月20日，自民党与日本维新会签署 了两党联合执政的协议文件，高市早苗获得维新会支持，才得以在首相指名选举中险中取胜。 由于高市早苗向来主张实施扩张性的财政政策，日本首相指名选举的消息还触发了日元弱、日股强 的"高市交易"。21日，日股继续狂飙，日经225指数盘中一度接近5万点，连续两日收盘创历史新高。与 此同时，日元兑美元继续呈现出缓慢下跌的态势。 在首相选举"涉险过关"后，接下来，高市早苗将不得不面临一系列严峻考验，包括如何应对自民党内根 基脆弱、国会席位不足、日本经济复苏仍缺乏动力等问题以及美国关税挑战等。自民党总裁 ...
