Suga signals readiness for new stimulus package

The stimulus definitely not going to affect the common people much, most of it is going to the business elites anyways, especially Dentsu.

Basically if you are worth less than 1 billion yen, you are probably not getting affected much by this.

@Nihonview

Did you even read the article you posted? Don't try and twist reality. I'll post the relevant information for others to read.

Many small business whom have had a 10% or more drop in profits are able to apply for privately issues, government back loans. The loan term is 3 years interest free, after which the interest rate which has not been disclosed will be applied. The maximum loan is 5 million yen.

Don't act like the government has given small business 250 billion. That's blatantly untrue.

Another 10,000? OK, but you have to replace the ¥ character with a placeholder this time so anyone can choose something that is some nearer to fit the size of the problem, $€£...free choice for everyone.

everyone get ready for another 10% value-added tax hike next year...

What, more masks and Go To coupons?

How about $250 billion for small business?

Using the government’s relief program for small and midsize companies hit by the coronavirus pandemic, have extended the equivalent of more than $250 billion in less than six months,

Still with this 80es policies,when will these outdated J-politicians time travel to present days?

Make it ¥200,000 what the hell might as well make it double. Not like the decision makers care or will be around to sort out the debt. Double down I say.

The receipt of your ¥100,000 support is immediately followed by the issue of your resident tax bill - works out as just an interdepartmental transfer of money in the J-Gov.

Another 100,000 yen please.

I like the way you think and I agree!

Help the unemployed

Reality check

It's a Pandemic going on worldwide, the worst in over 100 years.

Forced shutdowns are happening again in multiple countries.

Death toll worldwide is in the million and not stopping.

Suicide rates are at an all time high.

Birth rates are declining.

-If we don't help our citizens now, then when?? When is it a good time to do it??

Rediculous! Shows how little some care!

What, more masks and Go To coupons?

Sorry the break the bad news...it translates to massive gifts of taxpayer money to amukurari linked big companies and no bonuses for staff.

Good relationship with China is better than 1000 stimulus.

More Buisness subsidies? Increased debt, higher taxes. Sounds like a plan.

Another 100,000 yen please.

What, more masks and Go To coupons?

readiness for new stimulus package

Just add more debt to the existing one, what happened to current budget already taken by GoTo travel?

"....which would strain Japan's already tattered finances."

What is the evidence that Japan's finances are "tattered."? Rocketing interest rates? Nope. Rocketing inflation? Collapsing yen? Nope, nope, nope.

Argentina and Greece have had "tattered finances." Japan clearly has not.
