Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Moriya: "Seamless response is indispensable"
At a press conference, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Moriya said, "It is essential to take seamless measures until recovery and reconstruction, and given the current damage situation and the geographical constraints of the peninsula, we must anticipate fiscal demand that exceeds that of the Kumamoto earthquake, and we are considering increasing the reserve budget for the new fiscal year by 5000 billion yen to 1 trillion yen. I would like to make a Cabinet decision today and aim for the bill to be enacted in the Diet as soon as possible."
