According to CoinMeta, Russia has seized the assets of a Japanese tobacco company in the region, which may lead to a reduction in funds available for the Japanese government to spend. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is pushing a series of costly policy agendas. The Japanese Ministry of Finance is the largest shareholder of the Japanese tobacco company and is expected to receive around 103.5 billion yen (about $655 million) in dividends for the fiscal year ending March this year. Although this amount accounts for only about 0.1% of Japan's annual tax revenue, these dividends represent approximately 44% of the expected dividend income from a fund that supports industrial and innovation projects. The Japanese tobacco company stated that it is still assessing the impact of the seizure of its Russian assets. The company owns cigarette brands such as Winston and Camel, which are leaders in the Russian tobacco market in terms of sales volume. As of September 30, the scale of its Russian-related assets was about 1.5 trillion yen. This incident occurs at a time when Yoshihide Suga is facing a sensitive situation, and her spending plans have drawn external scrutiny regarding how Japan will raise funds.
