About this page

This page summarizes a press conference held on February 10, 2026, by Finance Minister Katayama following a cabinet meeting. The minister addressed questions regarding delayed budget and tax reform deliberations due to the Diet's dissolution, funding for food product consumption tax reduction, and the recent election results. Katayama explained that early passage of the budget is sought from the Diet, while life support measures are already being implemented. Regarding the tax reduction, the government will examine the issue through a national conference and secure funding through subsidy and tax incentive reviews without relying on deficit bonds. He attributed the election success to Prime Minister Takayichi's consistent policy approach.
