  • he expects next the Bank of Japan governor to show a clear roadmap including criteria for ending its yield-curve control (YCC) policy
  • he wants to keep increasing wages for Suntory employees as long as cost of living continues to rise, in a bid to help their lives and to activate private-sector-led economic growth
