The ruling and opposition “Large-scale economic measures unprecedented” Sunday discussion March 29 12:36

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the ruling and opposition parties expressed opinions on large-scale economic measures unprecedented at the NHK Sunday Discussion.

"In the event of the Lehman Shock, the scale is 56.8 trillion yen, so it is necessary to take bold economic measures that greatly exceed it. We will work on measures we have never done before, such as postponement of social insurance premiums. We want to create an unprecedented, bold and powerful supplementary budget that is effective at the earliest possible time with government bonds in mind, and the consumption tax cut is cautious in the course of all-generation social security. It should be. "

"In a crisis situation, we will take measures on a scale greater than the time of the Lehman Shock. 100,000 per person for those who are really in need, who have reduced jobs, and whose income has decreased," said Komeito Party secretary general. The first thing you need to do when paying the yen is to have a sense of speed, and we want to reduce corporate property taxes. "

Fukuyama, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said, "In both the United States and Europe, the government is taking care of about 10% of the annual GDP, and I hope that economic measures will be taken with such a sense of scale. I would like to ask the Parliament to hold an intensive deliberation in advance and discuss future actions, etc. "

"The economy is serious and measures must be taken boldly without precedent, and preparations should be made to use the Olympic athlete's village as a detention facility for serious patients. If it continues, we may have to consider closing the Diet. "

"The world is in a state of war with an invisible and invisible virus and it is strange why the government does not issue an" Emergency Declaration. "The scale of economic measures is one of GDP. That's about 60 trillion yen. "

"Communist Party Secretary-General Koike said," We must clearly state the principle that if we request self-restraint, we will compensate for the loss at the same time. The most effective way to recover the V-shaped economy is to reduce the consumption tax to 5%. That's it. "
