As I depart from Japan it is clear that, as evidenced by President Trump’s remarks yesterday, both countries will have a Golden Age under our two outstanding leaders: @POTUS@realDonaldTrump and @JPN_PMO@takaichi_sanae.
I look forward to working with the Japanese Minister of Finance @satsukikatayama, and I am encouraged by her deep understanding of how Abenomics has moved from a purely reflationary policy to a program that must balance growth and inflationary concerns for the citizens of Japan. The Government’s willingness to allow the Bank of Japan policy space will be key to anchoring inflation expectations and avoiding excess exchange rate volatility.
The future is bright for both of our nations.
