"The reserve of 10 trillion yen is not extraordinary" Expert pointed out New Corona Measures June 4 19:29

There is ongoing debate in the Diet over the second supplementary budget for new coronavirus measures. Professor Satoshi Mitsumitsu of Hitotsubashi University, who is familiar with finances, has asked the Go To campaign to stimulate consumption for tourism and food, "sustainable benefits" for small and medium-sized enterprises, and "10 trillion yen I asked about "reserve cost".

Consignment expenses of over 300 billion yen "Clarify details"

Professor Sato said that about 300 billion yen in consignment expenses have been posted in the "Go To Campaign", "I will ask you what you request in the first place, what you request as consignment, a little more details There is detailed information on why the commission fee is that amount, and in the form of accumulated information.”

Re-entrustment of sustainability benefit business “Detailed statement of usage”

Professor Sato said that the corporation that was entrusted with the "sustainable benefit" business by the government re-consigned most of the work to a major advertising agency, "There is a problem that the monitoring of the re-contracted destination does not work. However, since this time the amount of money is quite large, it is important from the perspective of fulfilling accountability to the public to get the subcontractor to cooperate with them and provide a detailed statement of the purpose of use."

Reserve cost 10 trillion yen "unusual"

On the other hand, as for the reserve cost of 10 trillion yen, "the reserve cost is just as the name suggests, it is an expense just in case. It is certainly 500 billion yen, or in some cases 1 trillion Although it may be yen-based, I think 10 trillion yen out of the 30 trillion supplementary budget is unusual, because it is easy to use the incentive to use it once it is loaded, It can also be."

On top of that, Professor Sato said, "What is needed is the public's peace of mind and trust. No matter how promptly they take measures, it does not mean that they are wasteful. It is necessary to have an attitude of carefully examining and verifying the way we are. In addition, it is necessary to widely provide and disclose information to the public."
