Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed determination to swiftly compile an economic package focused on combating rising prices during a question-and-answer session in the House of Representatives on November 5, calling for opposition cooperation. Opposition parties pressed for consumption tax cuts and delays in social security reforms, while the government offered responses lacking concrete measures. The ruling coalition lacks a majority in both houses, making broad cross-party support essential.
