TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said on Monday he had instructed ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) executives to include the goal of achieving 1,000 trillion yen ($6.94 trillion) nominal GDP in 2040 in a party election pledge.
Ishiba also said the goal of achieving a more than 50% increase in the average income should be included as a top agenda item in the LDP’s campaign for the upper house election slated for July.
