Says to reassess the target in next year's mid-term review

Motegi's comments in response to reports earlier this week that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is set to delay the timing for balancing a primary budget from the current fiscal 2020 to later in the decade

If Abe calls an early election my money will be on a delay to the surplus target (i.e MOAR government spending, not less).

Actually, come to think of it my money is pretty much always on governments being tempted to spend more not less.
