経済対策、事業規模７１．６兆円　岸田首相「物価１．２％下げ」―エネルギー対策、人への投資

　政府は２８日の臨時閣議で、物価上昇への対応などを柱とする総合経済対策を決定した。国・地方の歳出と財政投融資を合わせた財政支出は３９．０兆円、民間支出などを含む事業規模は７１．６兆円に上る。ロシアのウクライナ侵攻や歴史的な円安に伴う物価高の負担を軽減するほか、岸田文雄首相が掲げる「人への投資」を強化する。
　岸田首相は閣議決定後の記者会見で、経済対策が「実質ＧＤＰ（国内総生産）を４．６％押し上げ、来年にかけて消費者物価を１．２％以上引き下げる」と効果を強調。エネルギー価格対策については「総額６兆円、平均的な一家庭で総額４万５０００円の支援となる」と説明した。（2022/10/28-21:52）

The Japanese government, at an extraordinary cabinet meeting Friday, adopted a comprehensive economic package mainly to tackle soaring prices resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the yen's rapid weakening.
   Overall fiscal spending for the package, including fiscal investment and lending, as well as spending by local governments, will reach some 39 trillion yen, while total spending, including private-sector expenses, will come to around 71.6 trillion yen.
   State funds totaling 35.6 trillion yen will be spent for the economic package. General account spending under a draft second supplementary state budget for fiscal 2022 to fund the package will total around 29.1 trillion yen. The government will also earmark 500 billion yen under a special account.
   The package features four main pillars.
   Around 12.2 trillion yen will be used for measures linked to rising prices and wage hikes, while about 4.8 trillion yen will fund measures to help restore and improve the nation's earning power by taking advantage of the recent depreciation of the yen.
