08.11.2025 โข The Day Takaichi Proposed Fiscal Austerity Measures
โจJapanese media on November 8, 2025, heavily emphasized domestic political developments, particularly around Prime Minister Takaichi's administration. Early reports indicated an 82% approval rating for the Takaichi Cabinet. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to Takaichi's proposed fiscal austerity measures, including plans for pay cuts for herself and her ministers, alongside promoting growth investment through bold tax cuts in strategic areas like AI. Concerns regarding her stamina during committee sessions were also noted. This reflects a shift towards more direct economic intervention and government austerity, following previous days' discussions on economic security and fiscal stimulus. Foreign policy elements, such as the US Supreme Court's tariff brief, also continued to be reported.
