For decades, hawkish economic policy was a hallmark of the LDP. Then Abe Shinzo changed the game with “Abenomics.”

The Kishida administration is pursuing a more inclusive “stakeholder capitalism,” but aside from its grand vision it doesn’t have many details to offer.

Incoming BOJ head Ueda Kazuo faces some difficult challenges.
