Hayashi announces LDP leadership bid: balancing fiscal reform with economic strategy and political renewal
During his announcement, Hayashi addressed one of the key issues of the election—the strengthening of financial income tax. He advocated for a cautious approach, suggesting that the situation should be reassessed in 2025, once corrective measures targeting the super-rich have been implemented. Hayashi underscored the importance of harmonizing tax policies with the broader economic shift from savings to investment, reflecting a nuanced understanding of Japan’s evolving economic environment.
