东京，10月2日电：日本经济大臣木内均周五表示，日本不再经历通货紧缩，因此无需为追求更高通胀率而实施过度宽松的货币政策。
TOKYO, Oct 2 : Japan is no longer experiencing deflation so does not need excessively loose monetary policy for the pursuit of a higher inflation rate, Economy Minister Minoru Kiuchi said on Friday.
木内均补充称，货币政策决定属于日本央行管辖范围，拒绝就政府是否反对央行进一步加息发表评论。
Monetary policy decisions are the jurisdiction of the Bank of Japan, Kiuchi added, declining to comment on whether the government opposed further central bank interest rate hikes.
他在例行记者会上表示："日本已走出需要安倍经济学那种再通胀政策的时代，"并补充说首相高市早苗的政策与前首相安倍晋三2013年推出的大规模刺激措施不同。"我的意思是日本不再处于通缩时期，因此不需要那种追求通胀的过度宽松政策，"木内均说。
"Japan has emerged from an era where it needed the kind of reflationist policies taken under Abenomics," Kiuchi said at a regular news conference, adding that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's policies were different from the massive stimulus introduced by former premier Shinzo Abe in 2013. "What I mean to say is that Japan is no longer in a deflationary period, and therefore does not need excessively loose policy that pursues inflation," Kiuchi said.
木内均此番言论是回应记者关于日本央行9月政策会议意见摘要的提问，该摘要显示政府代表呼吁对进一步加息保持谨慎。
Kiuchi made the remarks in response to reporters asking about a summary of opinions of the BOJ's September policy meeting, which showed a government representative called for caution over further interest rate hikes.
这些言论增加了政府方面驳斥其正在推行再通胀政策、通过扩张性财政和货币措施提振需求的观点的评论。
The remarks add to commentary from the government dismissing the viewpoint that it was pursuing reflationist policies to bolster demand through expansionary fiscal and monetary steps.
财务大臣片山纱月周二表示，她上周已向美国财长贝森特明确表示，首相不是再通胀主义者。
Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said on Tuesday she made it clear to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week that the prime minister was not a reflationist.
由于木内均过去对加息持谨慎态度，且与主张扩张性支出的议员团体有关联，他被广泛视为再通胀主义者。
Kiuchi is widely regarded as reflationist due to his past caution towards interest rate hikes and association with a group of lawmakers that called for expansionary spending.
