@some14some No breakdown of Y92.61tri ?

On the revenues side: funded by Taxes, new debt issuance and pension bonds/nontax revenue at roughly Y43 trillion, Y43 trillion, Y7 trillion, respectively.

On the spending side: debt servicing, social security and grants for local governments account for roughly Y22 trillion, Y29 trillion, and Y17 trillion. The rest of the spending for education, science, public works, etc.

Public works spending, covered in the press quite a lot recently, comes to only about Y5.5 trillion.

@TakumiSaito; i completely agree - hopefully under the current government funding for exchange programmes etc. haven't been cut (as in the UK!)

also if anyone has any more information on this story, just to help me understand the budget better, please let me know in the comments - thanks ^^

China-Japan relations should more better and better. It'll benefit both countries eventually.

So what does that mean? Is this much? What were the previous budgets?
