28 Temmuz 2026Japan Times

Voters in Japan are increasingly concerned about inflation, particularly regarding the high sales tax on food. Despite calls for immediate action, the government's response has been sluggish, leading to frustration among the populace.
Takaichi's long-term vision may not adequately address these urgent economic concerns, risking further discontent among voters.
Japan has been grappling with inflationary pressures, and the sales tax on food has become a focal point for voter dissatisfaction. The government’s hesitance to act swiftly on this issue reflects broader challenges in economic policy and public perception.
The slow progress on reducing the sales tax on food highlights a disconnect between government priorities and public sentiment. While long-term strategies are essential, the immediate needs of citizens facing rising living costs must not be overlooked.
