As an additional measure,
we will provide 50,000 yen per household to households exempt from resident tax to support people who are having trouble living due to rising prices of electricity, gas, food, etc.
In addition, in order to
curb
rising fuel prices such as gasoline, subsidies provided to oil wholesalers will continue until the end of the year.
Going forward, we plan to maintain the current level.
