Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso has announced a new stimulus package to help shore up the country’s ailing economy. The package includes 10 trillion yen ($111 billion) in tax breaks and public financing and 13 trillion yen ($144 billion) to prop up financial markets. The Prime Minister said “the economy has worsened beyond our expectations” amid a global downturn “on a scale that comes once in a century.” The package comes on top of the 27 trillion yen package announced back in October.
