Little-known facts about Peru's first female president.Keiko Fujimori's victory in the 2026 presidential election would not only open a new chapter for Peruvian politics but also mark a historic milestone as she becomes the first elected female president of this South American nation.

According to Reuters, Kishida said the 17 trillion yen includes temporary cuts to income and household taxes, as well as subsidies for gasoline and utilities. Inflation, partly due to rising raw material costs, has exceeded the Bank of Japan's 2% target for more than a year, putting pressure on consumption and dimming prospects for recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Rising living costs are partly believed to be the reason for Kishida's declining approval rating, putting pressure on the prime minister to take steps to ease the burden on households. With wage increases too slow to offset rising prices, Kishida said the government would mitigate the impact by returning a portion of tax money to households.
