Japan's finance minister Katayama told Tokyo TV on Saturday the government has begun adjusting its communications to reassure markets that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is not pursuing a reflationary policy. Katayama said U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent regards Takaichi's economic policies as appropriate for current conditions but questioned whether Japan had adequately communicated that to investors; Katayama said authorities concluded around late August they needed to convey the message more clearly to financial markets.(金十)
