This year's supplementary budget for implementing emergency measures against rising prices was deliberated by both Houses of Representatives on the 25th, and based on the results of the Japan-US summit meeting, future diplomatic and security policies, crude oil, etc. It is expected that the ruling and opposition parties will have a debate over how to deal with high prices such as food.
The government will submit to the Diet on the 25th a supplementary budget for this year with a total amount of 2.70.9 trillion yen in the general account in order to implement emergency measures against rising prices.
Then, in the afternoon, the plenary session of both Houses of Representatives will be held, and Prime Minister Kishida will also attend to give a financial speech by Minister of Finance Suzuki and ask representative questions from each party.
The ruling party is aiming for a stable supply of food, etc., in addition to future diplomatic and security policies based on the results of a series of summit diplomacy such as the Japan-US summit meeting and the quad summit meeting of the four countries of Japan, the United States, Australia and India. I am going to ask questions about the efforts that I have made.
On the other hand, the opposition party pursued that the government's emergency measures were small and could not cope with the serious rise in prices, and Prime Minister Kishida announced at the Japan-US summit meeting that he would increase defense spending. It is expected that the ruling and opposition parties will have a debate with the policy of asking them to show concrete usage rather than the amount.
The supplementary budget will be questioned by Prime Minister Kishida and all ministers at the House of Representatives Budget Committee on the 26th and 27th, and the ruling party will pass the House of Representatives on the 27th before the end of this month. It is a policy aiming for establishment.
