Description
Japan’s voters have spoken — delivering Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi a powerful supermajority just four months into her leadership. It comes at a moment when Japanese voters are feeling the strain of rising living costs, markets are uneasy over proposed tax cuts, and the region is watching closely as Tokyo sharpens its stance on defence, China and Taiwan.
Dr. Lim Tai Wei, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore, joins the Breakfast Show to unpack what this election changes and what businesses and investors in Singapore should be watching next.
