低所得世帯へ子１人５万円　政府・与党、補正編成の今国会成立目指す―緊急経済対策１．７兆円

　政府・与党は２１日、物価高騰を受けた緊急経済対策を１兆７０００億円程度（留保分を含む）とし、低所得の子育て世帯を対象とした児童１人当たり５万円の支給を盛り込む方針を決めた。財源として２０２２年度予算の予備費を充当。その補充のため補正予算案を編成し、今国会中の成立を目指す。補正の規模は２兆５０００億円程度で、原油高に対応する補助金の拡充も含める。
　緊急経済対策の財源をめぐっては、政府・自民党は予備費からの支出を、公明党は補正をそれぞれ主張。参院選を控え、自民党が歩み寄った。対策の具体的な内容は政府内で詰めの調整をした上で、岸田文雄首相が２６日にも発表する。（2022/04/21-20:15）

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, Komeito, agreed Thursday to set the size of a planned emergency economic package at around 1.7 trillion yen.
   The package, intended to mitigate the impact of rising prices of goods and services, will include plans to provide low-income child-rearing families with 50,000 yen in aid per kid and expand existing subsidies related to surging crude oil prices.
   The stimulus package will be financed by reserve funds set aside under the government's fiscal 2022 budget, according to the two parties' agreement, reached at a meeting between LDP Secretary-General Toshimitsu Motegi and his Komeito counterpart, Keiichi Ishii, on Thursday.
   The LDP and Komeito confirmed that a fiscal 2022 supplementary budget, expected to be in the scale of around 2.5 trillion yen, will be compiled to replenish the reserve funds, and that they aim to enact it during the ongoing regular session of the Diet, Japan's parliament.
   The government hopes to adopt the emergency package Friday.
