２次補正、最大の歳出３２兆円　医療強化や家賃支援―コロナ危機克服へ閣議決定

　政府は２７日、新型コロナウイルス流行による社会・経済への影響を緩和する２０２０年度第２次補正予算案を閣議決定した。一般会計の歳出総額は補正予算として過去最大の３１兆９１１４億円。医療体制の強化や企業の家賃支援が柱。民間融資なども含めた事業規模は１１７．１兆円に上る。１次補正などと合わせ２３０兆円超の巨額な対策を講じ、コロナ危機の克服に全力を挙げるが、生活苦に陥った人に速やかにお金が行き渡るか政策の実効性が問われる。

　安倍晋三首相は同日、決定に先立つ政府・与党の政策懇談会で「厳しい状況にある方々に、支援を迅速にお届けすることが重要」との決意を示した。政府・与党は、６月１７日までの通常国会会期中の成立を目指す。（2020/05/27-20:43）

The Japanese government adopted Wednesday a fiscal 2020 second supplementary budget plan with measures worth 117.1 trillion yen to reduce the social and economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak.
   The plan, which includes 31,911.4 billion yen in general-account spending, features programs to strengthen Japan's medial system and support businesses struggling to pay rent.
   The total value of 117.1 trillion yen includes measures to be taken under the country's fiscal and investment loan program and loans to be provided from the private sector.
   Including those financed by the first extra budget, enacted April 30, the total size of measures to fight the coronavirus crisis will reach 230 trillion yen.
   Of the general-account spending planned under the draft second extra budget, 2,989.2 billion yen will go to the medical field, including 2,237 billion yen in subsidies to medical institutions treating coronavirus patients, up from the 149 billion yen secured under the first extra budget.
