  • Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida revealed a plan Thursday to make Japan’s tax break system for small-lot investment a permanent program to draw more individual assets into markets.
  • Under the incentive system known as NISA, holders of designated accounts at financial institutions are exempted from taxes to be levied on proceeds from investments up to 2042.
  • Kishida proposed eliminating the deadline in the speech, but the details will be left for further deliberations by the Finance Ministry and a tax system panel of his ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
