On 8 November 2025, the Japanese government said it will roll out a major economic‑stimulus package that includes tax cuts and investment incentives targeting 17 strategic industries such as AI, semiconductors, ship‑building and defence. The package — expected to exceed last year’s US $92 billion - aims to make policy more predictable and drive private investment across growth sectors. Analysts say the move signals Tokyo’s shift toward industrial revitalisation amid global supply‑chain pressure and geoeconomic contestation.
