According to a report by CoinPost, Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama delivered a speech at the New Year Opening Ceremony (Daifa Hui) at the Tokyo Stock Exchange today (5), officially positioning 2026 as the “Digital Year,” and strongly supporting the integration of digital assets into the traditional financial system.
Faced with Japan’s long-standing deflationary dilemma, Satsuki Katayama frankly stated, “This year is a turning point.” She emphasized that the Japanese government will adopt responsible and proactive fiscal policies and focus investments on industries with growth potential.
Katayama pointed out that compared to advanced countries like the United States, the process of Japanese citizens “shifting from savings to investments” still has significant room for growth. The government will fully support this through policy measures, encouraging the public to invest idle funds into the market.
