Japan PM Takaichi's Approval Rating Declines Amid Inflation and Economic Challenges
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's approval rating fell to 57% in July, the lowest since she took office, amid rising living costs and inflation concerns. Disapproval of her administration's efforts to address inflation rose to 71%. Market pressures, including a weak yen and higher bond yields, have complicated policy decisions such as delaying a promised food sales tax cut. Takaichi emphasized strengthening Japan's economy to restore trust in the yen, while a potential cabinet reshuffle is expected to signal future policy directions.
