According to Shoki Omori from Mizuho Securities, Ishiba’s post-election remarks indicate he has no plans to resign. Many in the ruling LDP are also hesitant to initiate a leadership contest while U.S. tariff talks remain unresolved and party approval ratings are low. Under these conditions, the likelihood of aggressive fiscal stimulus is limited. Even if there is a leadership change, it may not speed up the implementation of a large-scale spending plan. The only measure currently being discussed is a one-time cash handout to households, which would have minimal fiscal impact.
