Japan PM Kishida says must be mindful of downside risks to the economy

I posted earlier on Toyota's production constraints due to supply chain disruption:

• Toyota has shut down production lines at two assembly plants due to supply chain problems

Kishia adds:

• will not be altering the sales tax rate for now

Kishida bringing up the sales tax rate. Answering a question I hadn't known had been asked recently. Are changes afoot? (Not a rhetorical question).
