Abstract

This paper provides background information, questionnaires and basic descriptive statistics from a representative opinion survey on fiscal policy issues in Japan conducted in 2025. The survey covers various topics related to fiscal policy in Japan: (1) objective and subjective knowledge of government debt and public finance in Japan; (2) objective knowledge of several macroeconomic indicators; (3) sources of information about the economy and financial matters; (4) an experiment examining whether information on different public debt indicators affects people’s attitudes towards fiscal consolidation; and (5) political attitudes and affiliations. A broad range of socio-demographic and economic indicators is also collected.
