日本经济大臣称该国已不再处于通货紧缩状态，呼吁投资者重新审视日本。日本经济大臣Minoru Kiuchi敦促全球投资者根据日本当前的经济现实来评估该国，而非基于数十年通货紧缩塑造的旧有印象，认为日本正“向一个以增长为导向的新经济转型”。
Japan economy minister says nation no longer in deflation, seeks investor rethink Japan's Economy Minister Minoru Kiuchi urged global investors to judge the country on its current economic reality rather than perceptions shaped by decades of deflation, arguing it was "transitioning toward a new, growth-oriented economy."
By Rocky Swift, Makiko Yamazaki“日本已不再是长期通货紧缩时期的同一经济体，”Kiuchi在周四于东京举行的LSEG主办的Reuters NEXT Newsmaker活动上表示。“我鼓励你们基于这种变化中的现实来评估日本。”Kiuchi长期与一群主张通过激进财政支出以结束通货紧缩的政策制定者相关联，他同时强调财政可持续性与增长的重要性，旨在让投资者对首相Sanae Takaichi政府下公共支出上升的担忧得到安抚。
By Rocky Swift, Makiko Yamazaki "Japan is no longer the same economy it was during the long years of deflation," Kiuchi said at a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker event hosted by LSEG in Tokyo on Thursday. "I would encourage you to assess Japan on the basis of this changing reality." Kiuchi, who has long been associated with a group of policymakers advocating aggressive spending to end deflation, also emphasised fiscal sustainability alongside growth, seeking to reassure investors wary of rising public spending under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's administration.
“有些人可能听到‘积极财政’这句话，就会认为这意味着财政纪律松弛，但事实并非如此，”他说。
"Some may hear the phrase 'proactive public finances' and assume it means lax fiscal discipline, but that is not what we are pursuing," he said.
相反，他主张战略性投资将提升日本的增长潜力，从而带动更高的工资、收入和税收收入，同时保持财政可持续性。
Instead, he argued that strategic investments would boost Japan's growth potential, leading to higher wages, incomes and tax revenue while preserving fiscal sustainability.
