Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: Today, the budget request results for the next fiscal year have been announced, totaling approximately 143.1 trillion yen. For the first time, the annual budget reflects the goals of "fundamental reforms in budget preparation," such as our Cabinet's advocacy of "decoupling from reliance on supplementary budgets" and the "investment framework for a 'strong and prosperous Japan'" established for crisis management and growth investments. The next fiscal year is positioned as "the first year of responsible and proactive fiscal policy."
