林芳正

新任命的日本经济和财政政策大臣林芳正（YoshimasaHayashi）7月2日表示：从产出数据和日本央行的短观调查来看，我们确实已摆脱最糟糕的阶段。

Looking at the output data and the Bank of Japan 's Tankan survey , we have indeed escaped the worst period , Yoshimasa Hayashi , newly appointed minister for economic and fiscal policy , said yesterday .

另外三名候选人分别是自民党秘书长石原伸晃，前外交大臣町村信孝和前经济和财政政策的大臣长林芳正。

Other three candidates include LDP Secretary General Nobuteru Ishihara , ex-Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura , and former economic and fiscal policy minister Yoshimasa Hayashi .

林芳正7月2日似乎表明，日本央行愿付出更多努力，当时他指出，货币政策可能会以比财政措施更快的速度推行，他希望，日本央行将阻止持续通缩的回归。

Mr Hayashi appeared yesterday to signal a desire for the central bank to do more when he noted that monetary policy could be implemented more quickly than fiscal action and that he hoped the BoJ would resist the return of persistent deflation .
