Japanese Prime Minister candidate Takashi Saemi adjusted his monetary policy position

Japanese Prime Minister candidate Takashi Saemi said in the debate that the details of monetary policy should be decided by the Bank of Japan. She tried to draw a line with dovish remarks a year ago, saying the government was responsible for deciding the direction of fiscal and monetary policy.

Takashi Saemi called the rate hike last year "stupid", raising concerns that it could hinder the normalization of the Bank of Japan's policies. Traders are closely watching her campaign as the Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates in October.

The Liberal Democratic Party lost the election under the leadership of Shigeru Ishiba, and inflation dissatisfaction is the key factor. Analysts believe that it is difficult for the Takashi Saemi to reaffirm last year's policy, as dovish stance may lower the yen and fuel inflation.
