Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe finally resigned, apparently unable to withstand the pressure from the anti-reform factions of his party. It looks like he walked into the trap after promoting a lot of anti-reform party members to key positions in the cabinet in the last government reshuffling.
For people like me who've been watching Japan try to come out of its frustrating economic past, this is certainly a setback. Abe proved that he was no Koizumi, as he was unable to pass a lot of Japan's reform initiatives.
It's clear that a total reversal of the economic reform process is now a possibility that, if materialized, will have dire consequences for the future of the Japanese economy. Once the political establishment goes back to its old ways, any attempt for real and sustainable economic growth will be doomed.
Unless the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is able to elect a pro-reform leader--something that seems unlikely at the moment--expect the business environment to also deteriorate with reforms labeled a failure as a whole. The result of all these will be deterioration in future earnings growth and an even weaker stock market.
This becomes more crucial as the uncertainty in global financial markets continues, and elections are approaching fast in Japan. This isn't the right time for implementing change.
