TOKYO, Sept 30 : Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will pledge a nimble response to any unexpected developments in the economy and financial markets in a policy speech next week, the Nikkei newspaper said on Wednesday.

In remarks set for the first day of an extraordinary parliamentary session on October 5, Takaichi will also explain that the government will decide the size of annual debt issuance with an eye on interest rate developments, the paper said.

"When the economy and markets make unexpected moves, we will analyse the impact and respond nimbly," Takaichi is expected to tell parliament, according to a draft of the speech reviewed by the Nikkei.

While the administration has ruled out compiling a supplementary budget, Takaichi will explain how it will respond nimbly depending on economic conditions, the paper added.

The prime minister's office was not immediately available to comment.
