According to Japanese Finance Minister Takayuki Katayama, the size of Japan's supplementary budget may be around 19 billion US dollars. She downplayed the impact of this expenditure on government finances and stated that some bond issuance plans were cancelled last year, which will reduce the demand for issuing new bonds to supplement the budget. Katayama mentioned that Prime Minister Hayao Takashi will announce more details on Monday, and Japan is currently reviewing the income and expenditure situation of the previous fiscal year to prepare for the June final accounts. She stated that she will address risks through communication with the market.
