In the supplementary resolution, regarding the anticipation of a business balance deficit in the budget for the new fiscal year, we will work to secure a stable business operation system based on balance of income by clarifying the purpose of business and reviewing business. In addition, we will make every effort to show the attitude of NHK in the communications field as clearly as possible, such as the simultaneous simultaneous distribution of television broadcasts to the Internet, and make the overall cost publicly available and public to the public and viewers. In addition, NHK is urging NHK to strengthen its broadcasting facilities and systems so that broadcasting and services can be continued in the event of any disaster and correct information can be transmitted to the public.

The NHK budget is to be approved by the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives, and will be deliberated in the House of Councilors.
