In another development that might generate more on Fujii, figures issued Tuesday showed that Japan’s consumer
prices fell an annual 2.4 per cent in August ? the most in nearly four decades ? prompting talk of deflationary spirals
that could, warned analysts, hamper Japan’s fragile recovery from its worst postwar recession. On top of that, adds
Bloomberg, a survey of economists suggests that job figures this week are likely to show that Japan’s unemployment
rate reached 5.8 per cent last month, topping July’s postwar record.
Plenty to keep Fujii quiet, then. But the real question, as Bloomberg columnist William Pesek writes on Tuesday, is
“whether Fujii can stand the fire” on his yen policy:
It already appears that the heat from within and without Fujii’s party is getting results. Extra ammunition for his critics
would surely come in the form of a government survey released in April in which Japanese companies said they could
remain profitable as long as the yen trades at Y97.33 per dollar or weaker. If the finance minister is really capitulating,
then, the yen has a long slide ahead of it and Fujii will have some egg to clear off his face.
