Japan’s government has unveiled its largest post-pandemic spending plan, allocating 17.7 trillion yen (approximately 112 billion USD) to bolster the nation’s economy amidst growing concerns about inflation and voter dissatisfaction. This significant investment, which will likely be funded through a supplementary budget, marks a substantial increase of 27% from the previous administration’s spending plan introduced last year. The package aims to alleviate rising prices and support key sectors such as infrastructure development and business investments. However, the move has triggered market uncertainty with investors reacting to Japan’s weakening currency and the surge in long-term government bond yields.
