Since its inception, NoBorder has approached the 'contours of truth' regarding the structural challenges facing Japanese society through multifaceted themes including politics, economics, and national security. In this 40th episode, we examine the potential and risks of 'Responsible Proactive Fiscal Policy,' which is gaining attention as a strategy to break Japan's economic stagnation.
With wages remaining stagnant for a long period while prices continue to rise, how much can this 'Responsible Proactive Fiscal Policy' actually improve the lives of citizens? Featuring guest MC Heizo Takenaka and other experts involved in the front lines of the Japanese economy, we held a thorough discussion on whether this policy will truly enrich the public or simply end up as another round of 'pork-barrel spending' that repeats past failures.

Highlights of the Latest Episode
◾️ Why ask about 'Responsible Proactive Fiscal Policy' now?
While citizens face anxiety due to rising prices and stagnant wages, Prime Minister Takaichi has declared, 'We will reclaim the lost 30 years through growth investment.' Clarifying the odds of success and the pitfalls feared by the market for Japan to return to a growth trajectory is an unavoidable discussion for all citizens living in this country today. In NoBorder #40, we conducted the discussion based on policy goals of 1.5% real economic growth and a 2% increase in disposable income, using the concrete goal of a 20,000 yen monthly increase in take-home pay as a benchmark.
■ Key Issues Raised in the Program
The discussion centered on whether proactive fiscal policy can help Japan regain economic growth or if it will create new risks.
● Will fiscal expansion lead to real wage increases and improved living standards?
● How will the progression of the weak yen and inflation affect the lives of citizens?
● Is sustainable growth possible without labor market reform and the strengthening of supply capacity?
● How should fiscal discipline be maintained (shifting from single-year to multi-year frameworks)?
While the potential for responsible proactive fiscal policy to contribute to growth was highlighted, concerns regarding the weak yen, inflation, and fiscal deterioration were also raised. The discussion also explored the conditions under which this policy might function, as well as its underlying assumptions and limitations.
