ControversiesFiscal controversies highlight political, social, or economic challenges that can affect a country's stability and future policy direction.

The 2019 consumption tax increase from 8% to 10% remains politically sensitive, with critics arguing it dampened household spending. Ongoing proposals to raise the retirement age and adjust pension formulas to sustain the system have faced public protests amid concerns over fairness for aging workers.

Spending EfficiencyMeasures how well public funds are used to achieve desired outcomes. High efficiency means more value for taxpayers and better services.

Japan scores very high on government effectiveness indices and achieves excellent social outcomes in health and longevity, but there is recognized inefficiency in health care spending and administrative overlap across central and local governments. Streamlining these processes could yield significant savings.
