予算繰り越し、３０兆円　過去最大、コロナ補正執行遅れ―２０年度

　財務省が３０日発表した２０２０年度の国の一般会計決算概要によると、２１年度へ繰り越される額が３０兆７８０４億円に達した。新型コロナウイルス対策に伴い、３度の補正予算編成で７３兆円の歳出を追加したが、執行が遅れていることなどが背景。繰越額は東日本大震災直後の１２年度（７兆６１１１億円）を大きく上回り、過去最大となった。
　繰越額が大きかった事業は、中小企業を対象とした政府系金融機関による実質無利子・無担保融資（繰越額６兆４１４０億円）、営業時間の短縮要請に応じた飲食店に対する協力金（３兆３１１５億円）、観光需要喚起策「Ｇｏ　Ｔｏ　トラベル」（１兆３３５３億円）など。公共事業関係も４兆６９３７億円が繰り越された。（2021/07/30-12:19）

The Japanese government carried over a record 30,780.4 billion yen of general-account budget funds for fiscal 2020, which ended in March this year, into the current year, the Finance Ministry said Friday.
   Spending delays were behind the massive carryover amount. The government expanded its fiscal 2020 spending by adding 73 trillion yen in three supplementary budgets to tackle the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
   The amount of carryover from fiscal 2020 far exceeded the previous record of 7,611.1 billion yen in fiscal 2012, which came after the March 2011 massive earthquake and tsunami that hit the Tohoku northeastern Japan region.
   The carryover to fiscal 2021 includes 6,414 billion yen from a program in which government-backed lenders offer loans effectively free of interest and collateral to smaller businesses, 3,311.5 billion yen from a program to pay coronavirus relief to restaurants and bars meeting requests for shorter business hours and 1,335.3 billion yen from the Go To Travel domestic tourism promotion campaign.
   The sum also includes 4,693.7 billion yen from public works projects.
