補正予算案１３兆９４３３億円　石破政権初、大型編成―閣議決定

　政府は２９日、石破政権では初の総合経済対策の裏付けとなる２０２４年度補正予算案を持ち回り閣議で決定した。物価高対策の給付金など賃金や所得の増加につながる施策が柱で、一般会計の歳出総額は１３兆９４３３億円。昨年度を上回る大型補正で、財源の半分近くを新規国債発行（借金）で賄う。借金頼みの財政が厳しさを増すのは必至だ。
　石破茂首相は先の衆院選で「昨年度（１３兆１９９２億円）を上回る補正予算を成立させたい」と訴えていた。政府は補正予算案を１２月上旬にも今臨時国会に提出し、年内の早期成立を目指す。（2024/11/29-19:29）

The Japanese government Friday adopted a draft supplementary budget for fiscal 2024 with 13,943.3 billion yen in general-account spending, mainly to fund a comprehensive economic package.
   It is the first extra budget drafted under the administration of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and is larger than the supplementary budget of the previous fiscal year.
   Nearly half of the funding will be sourced from the issuance of new Japanese government bonds, further exacerbating the country's fiscal situation.
   Ishiba said in the campaign for last month's election for the House of Representatives, the all-important lower chamber of the Diet, or Japan's parliament, that he would seek to enact a supplementary budget larger than the 13,199.2-billion-yen supplementary budget of the previous fiscal year.
   The government plans to submit the draft to the current extraordinary Diet session early next month for enactment within this year.
