補正予算案を国会提出　総額１３．９兆円―政府

　政府は９日、石破政権では初の総合経済対策を盛り込んだ２０２４年度補正予算案を国会に提出した。一般会計の歳出総額は１３兆９４３３億円。物価高の負担軽減や能登半島地震の被災地支援などが柱で、前年度の補正予算（１３兆１９９２億円）を上回る大型編成となる。今国会での成立を目指す。
　石破茂首相は「すべての世代の現在や将来の賃金・所得増加が最重要課題」との立場。先の衆院選で自民、公明両党は少数与党となったが、国民民主党など他党の協力も得て、課題実現に向け補正予算案の早期成立につなげたい考えだ。（2024/12/09-10:01）

The Japanese government submitted to parliament Monday its fiscal 2024 draft supplementary budget with 13,943.3 billion yen in general-account spending.
   The budget will finance a comprehensive economic package, the first under Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's administration, including measures to tackle inflation and aid for areas affected by natural disasters in the Noto Peninsula, central Japan. It is larger than the 13,199.2-billion-yen supplementary budget of the previous fiscal year.
   The government hopes that the budget will be enacted during the current extraordinary parliamentary session ending on Dec. 21.
   "The most important task is to increase wages and incomes now and in the future for all generations," Ishiba has said.
   The ruling coalition of his Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito failed to secure a majority in the recent general election for the House of Representatives, the all-important lower chamber of the country's parliament. The ruling camp hopes to gain the support of other parties including the Democratic Party for the People to swiftly pass the budget.
