New Prime Minister Faces Formidable Challenges
Japan once again has a new Prime Minister, its 95th. Democratic Party president Yoshihiko Noda succeeds Naoto Kan in the job. His top priority is implementing reconstruction from the March 11th disaster. That involves numerous decisions related to rebuilding survivors' lives and bringing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant under control) Financial matters also are demanding his attention. The yen continues to trade at historic high levels amid uncertainties over the US and European economies. Paradoxically, the rating of government bonds has been downgraded, and the nation's fiscal condition remains unsettled. Noda will also have to manage a number of diplomatic issues, including how to manage Japan's relationship with the United States, China, and other Asian countries. Our program will profile the new Prime Minister and examine the challenges facing his new administration.
