JAPAN'S CABINET APPROVED a record ¥115.5 trillion ($732 billion) budget for the fiscal year starting April 2025, setting up the minority government of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba for a key test of its longevity in getting the proposal approved by parliament.

The budget plan detailed Friday marks a 2.6% increase from the current year, and would be partly funded by a record ¥78.4 trillion in tax receipts, enabling a 19% reduction in new bond issuance.

Since losing its lower house majority in an October election, Ishiba's coalition government has been forced to negotiate with opposition parties over policy plans.
