Fitch's take on the new Japanese government
- Economy should benefit in near-term from ebbing of COVID-19 pandemic threat
- Regardless of impact of policy reforms
- Does not anticipate significant shift in government's support for BOJ strategy
- Expects Kishida to announce new stimulus package before next election
Kishida was once dubbed Abe's heir apparent (his cabinet members also features key Abe allies) so I reckon that exemplifies his views on policy for the most part but yes, one shouldn't expect much of a drastic change under his tenure.
Just be mindful that Japan's next general election will take place on 31 October but it should be one that is a rather straightforward affair for Kishida and the ruling party.
