TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s upcoming stimulus package will be bigger than last year’s measures that were financed with a 13 trillion yen ($87 billion) extra budget, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The government will draft a package that will exceed the size of last year’s stimulus, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiko Aoki said, echoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s remarks at a Tuesday stump speech for the lower house election campaign.
