補正予算案が衆院通過　物価高対策２．７兆円

　２０２２年度補正予算案は２７日の衆院本会議で、自民、公明両党と国民民主党などの賛成多数で可決され、衆院を通過した。ロシアのウクライナ侵攻などに伴う物価高への「総合緊急対策」の裏付けとなる。参院の審議を経て、３１日に成立する見通しだ。
　補正予算案は、一般会計の歳出総額が２兆７００９億円で、全額を赤字国債で賄う。既に緊急対策の財源の一部に充てた予備費を補充するため計１兆５２００億円を計上。原油高対策として、石油元売り会社への補助金なども盛り込んだ。（2022/05/27-17:34）

Japan's House of Representatives on Friday passed the government's 2.7-trillion-yen draft supplementary budget for financing comprehensive emergency measures to fight soaring prices exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
   At a plenary meeting, the lower chamber of the Diet, Japan's parliament, approved the fiscal 2022 extra budget by a majority vote with support from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, its coalition partner, Komeito, and the opposition Democratic Party for the People.
   The budget is expected to be enacted Tuesday, following further deliberations at the House of Councillors, the upper chamber.
   The budget, to be covered entirely by deficit-covering bonds, includes general-account spending of 2,700.9 billion yen, of which 1.52 trillion yen will be used to replenish reserve funds that have already been used to cover some of the emergency measures.
   The budget also features subsidies to oil wholesalers to curb retail fuel prices, which have been boosted by surging international crude oil prices.
