Comments by Japan chief Cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga

Suga
  • No change to stance held by Abe's administration
  • Without economic growth, there will be no fiscal reform

Suga continues to promise more continuity and the headline ensures that he is also looking out for the "business people", pretty much keeping with the status quo. He remains the favourite to succeed Abe come the LDP election on 14 September next week.
