The Japanese government Tuesday decided an additional spending of 138.9 billion yen from its reserve funds under its fiscal 2024 budget to support areas hit by the Jan. 1 Noto Peninsula earthquake.
   This will be the fourth round of spending from the state reserve funds for the quake-affected areas in central Japan, bringing the total to over 400 billion yen.
   This time, the government will use 68.3 billion yen mainly for the construction of temporary housing, 64.7 billion yen for the restoration of civil engineering and public facilities, 4.4 billion yen to support affected agricultural, forestry and fishery workers, and 1.6 billion yen for projects to reinforce welfare and elderly care services.
   The government has so far spent 276.7 billion yen for the affected areas mainly from its reserve funds since the temblor occurred.
   Its fiscal 2024 general-account budget includes 1 trillion yen for the reserve funds, doubled from the initially planned level following the disaster.
