(Bloomberg) – Japan’s 100th prime minister Fumio Kishida gave an impassioned performance speech to parliament compared to the predecessors that left a bit of a relief for the investor’s concerns that highlighted the point for higher tax levels with the bad situation over the stocks.
The bulk of his speech was base on the “new form of Japanese capitalism,” where he highlighted several points for the campaign to share and close the gap between rich and poor. The policies that are set newly by him have made investors curious about the investment in
Tokyo, where the stock average is this week, is going at its worth from the previous eight days since 2009 where the Nikkei 225 Stock Average also fell.
On Thursday, the Nikkei reported that discussions for raising the investment income tax, and the increasing sale of shares, would have to be added in the tax revision set for the next year by April, earlier than many anticipated.

- foreign project may be confined because of his restrictions of monetary security
- policies may be “excessively liberal.”
- they don’t consider the financial exchange

Shogo Maekawa, a tactician at JP Morgan Fund Management, said that stocks are probably not going to continue to fall like this, and he anticipates that the market should have another go at bouncing back at the year’s end.
