The total amount of the general account, which is the sum of the initial budget and the supplementary budget for this fiscal year and 2021 in Tokyo, reached a record high due to the effects of the measures against the new coronavirus, and exceeded 10 trillion yen for the first time.
The plenary session of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly was held on the 3rd, and the supplementary budget for this year was approved and approved.
This time, expenses for supporting the tourism industry and the accumulation of funds were recorded, and the budget for this year in the capital was 10.408 trillion yen in the general account.
This is the largest scale ever, and it is the first time that the total amount of the general account exceeds 10 trillion yen.
With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, a total budget of over 3 trillion yen was allocated to secure the medical care provision system, support the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, and cooperate with restaurants.
On the other hand, the capital tax revenue for this fiscal year is expected to be 5,606.8 billion yen, which is 561.8 billion yen more than when the initial budget was prepared, due to the recovery of corporate profits.
Regarding the financial situation, the capital said, "Approximately 80% of the cost of the new corona measures is national financial resources, and the impact has been mitigated compared to last year when the capital's financial resources were large. There is a risk that tax revenues will decrease, and we are not optimistic about the possibility of re-spreading the infection in the future. "
