Japan plans to compile a supplementary budget of 3 trillion yen to cope with the impact of rising energy prices
Japan is planning a supplementary budget of over 3 trillion yen to combat rising energy prices, primarily due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This initiative, which involves issuing deficit-bonds, aims to provide subsidies for electricity, gas, and gasoline, as well as support for LPG users through local governments.
