Nikkei: Japan's new economy minister could sway corporate tax debate via ForexLive

Back on Saturday it became clear the Japanese economy minister intended to resign. Yesterday the deed was done.

The Nikkei today does a quick profile of Abe's choice for the new Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry – Yoichi Miyazawa.

• A former Finance Ministry official
• “He has been vocal about the need to make up for any revenues lost by the planned corporate tax cut“
• His appointment “could sway the debate on upcoming tax reforms toward a greater emphasis on revenue neutrality”
