- Must have working people feel the benefits of growth (yep, raising a tax will always do that)
- Has asked ruling parties to begin deliberation on corporate tax cuts promptly
- Further sales tax to depend on economic conditions
Just in case anyone was in doubt, the market was waiting on Abe to give a decent stimulus package to counter the sales tax hike. I’ve yet to see a government take with one hand and give back more with the other.
