Yoshihiko Noda, the current prime minister, calls Mr Abe’s proposals “absurd. Yet the idea of the government setting a mandatory inflation target is no radical departure from central bank orthodoxy.

新加坡银行(Bank of Singapore)首席经济学家理查德·杰拉姆(Richard Jerram)曾在东京呆过几年,对日本过分胆怯的反通缩政策感到沮丧。但他现在感到振奋。杰拉姆表示:“我兴奋得几乎掐了一下自己。他们终于想让某位相信货币政策可推动通胀的人上任了。
