The Liberal Democratic Party is demanding a reserve fund for this year's budget for emergency measures in light of rising prices, while the Komeito Party insists that a supplementary budget is necessary in anticipation of unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, the government and the ruling party are rushing to make adjustments toward the compilation.
The Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party each made recommendations to Prime Minister Kishida on the 14th, before the government put together emergency measures in light of rising prices due to the situation in Ukraine.
The two parties should seek extension and expansion of subsidies to oil wholesale companies by the end of this month as a countermeasure against soaring crude oil prices, and strengthen support for people in need of living. It is said that.
On the other hand, regarding the financial resources for the measures, the Liberal Democratic Party is demanding that the reserve fund of this year's budget be used with an emphasis on speed.
On the other hand, the Komeito argued that a supplementary budget was necessary in anticipation of unforeseen circumstances in light of the situation in Ukraine and the infection situation of the new corona, and even in the countermeasures against soaring crude oil prices, the taxation of the additional portion of the gasoline tax will be suspended. The gap is highlighted, such as requesting the release of freezing.
Prime Minister Kishida has made full-scale adjustments next week, and has indicated that he will announce it again next week, so the government and the ruling party are rushing to make adjustments toward the finalization.
