TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s ruling party executive Toshimitsu Motegi said on Thursday an extra budget of more than 30 trillion yen ($263 billion) would send a “big message” to markets, Kyodo news agency reported.
The remark by Motegi, secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), comes ahead of the government’s expected announcement of a new pandemic-relief stimulus package on Friday.
