Financial Express Hyderabad|December 28, 2024

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.

In order to win the support of the small Democratic Party for the People to pass an economic stimulus package, the coalition agreed to raise a ceiling on tax-free income during the annual tax reform process.
