THE Japanese government on Friday approved a 3.118 trillion (S$34.9 billion) extra budget for the current fiscal year to fund stimulus spending and help pull the economy out of recession.
The extra budget for the stimulus, unveiled last month, includes funding for steps such as helping Japan's lagging regions and households with subsidies and shopping vouchers and rebuilding after natural disasters.
