Mori faces many of the same problems Obuchi did when he took office: a rigid bureaucracy, bloated public debt, an absence of transparency in government and the lack of political will to take tough measures to reform political and financial institutions.
Mori's first task will be to restore some semblance of confidence in the government and its ability to solve problems.
Mori was immediately put on a short list of three candidates, according to press reports, and was picked after several meetings on Sunday, within 24 hours of Obuchi's hospitalization.
