IMF指出，债务水平持续高企，叠加财政收支状况恶化，使日本经济面临一系列冲击。 针对高市提出的为期两年的"食品消费税归零"竞选承诺，IMF直言"应避免削减消费税"，称"这一缺乏针 对性的措施会压缩财政空间，增加财政风险"。 这一报告发布恰逢日本首相指名选举之际。路透社称，市场密切关注高市早苗是否会反对央行进一步加 息，以及高市此前提出的为期两年的"食品消费税归零"承诺。 货币政策方面，IMF指出，日本央行保持独立性与公信力，有助于稳定通胀预期，并表示日本央行"应 继续退出货币宽松，使政策利率在2027年达到中性利率水平"。 财政政策方面，IMF认为，短期内财政政策不宜进一步宽松。这一点与高市提出的"负责任的积极财 政"相悖。IMF认为，日本目前虽有一定财政空间，但仍需保持财政克制，以稳固财政缓冲、维持应对 冲击的能力。IMF预测，长期看日本政府财政赤字将扩大，支出压力将增加，公共债务总额将进一步增 长。 国际货币基金组织（IMF）17日发布报告，警示日本政府应保持日本央行独立性，控制财政扩张，避免 以削减消费税方式应对民生问题。 ...
