Here\u2019s what it includes"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TOKYO \u2014 Japan\u2019s parliament has approved a record extra budget of nearly 36 trillion yen (U.S. $317 billion) for the fiscal year through March that includes additional military spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The budget, approved Monday, is largely meant to fund COVID-19 measures, including booster shot vaccines and oral medicines. It also includes cash payouts for families with children and a promotion campaign for the hard-hit tourism industry, which critics said are pork barrel giveaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the supplementary budget is meant to revive an economy not yet fully recovered from the pandemic and to achieve stronger growth and a more equitable distribution of wealth under his \u201cnew capitalism\u201d policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Kishida, the government has tightened border restrictions to help keep at bay cases of the fast-spreading omicron variant of the coronavirus, after managing to bring infection levels down sharply in the past few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to growing concern about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/11\/03\/pentagon-chinese-nuke-force-growing-faster-than-predicted\/\" target=\"_blank\">rising Chinese power<\/a> and other strategic challenges, the budget includes about 773 billion yen dedicated to speeding up deployment of missile defense systems and other military preparedness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The budget also includes 100,000 yen payouts to households with children 18 or younger, and a 2.5 million yen subsidy for businesses that suffered substantial losses of sales due to the pandemic. It also will pay to increase salaries of nurses and other caregivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It allocates 617 billion yen for promoting semiconductor manufacturing inside Japan as the country moves to improve its economic security and counter shortages of the computer chips that are vital for a wide range of products. The budget will also fund promotion of tourism, sustainability and digitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Seiji Kihara told reporters Monday that the government plans to deliver planned measures promptly to the people to support \u201creconstruction of the pandemic-hit economy and the resumption of social and economic activity\u201d after widespread public health precautions imposed to battle coronavirus outbreaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s government has insisted that it is managing to catch people infected with the omicron variant at the border, but experts have cautioned that it may be spreading locally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The health ministry reported 14 omicron cases among arrivals at Japanese airports, bringing the known omicron cases to more than 80. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Okinawa, a major cluster has been spreading at the U.S. Marine Corps base of Camp Hansen, where at least 180 Marines who recently transferred from the United States have been infected. It was not known if they included omicron cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan, a country of about 126 million, has reported about 1.73 million COVID-19 cases and 18,400 deaths since the pandemic began two years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan\u2019s parliament has approved a record extra budget of nearly 36 trillion yen for the fiscal year through March that includes additional military spending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":29271,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":45,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[45,9,160,11,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[4201],"class_list":["post-15754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-pacific","category-coronavirus","category-daily-news-roundup","category-global","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"TMNFZYQ7ANFIVEAI4O2EPA4LKI","arc_canonical_url":"\/global\/asia-pacific\/2021\/12\/21\/japan-passes-record-317b-extra-budget-heres-what-it-includes\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Japan passes record $317B extra budget.
