A Reuters report reaffirms the earlier story
The Japanese government looks set to announce a ¥26 trillion economic package that it expects to push up GDP by 1.4%, according to three government sources.
The package will include fiscal spending of ¥13.2 trillion to try and bolster economic growth amid downward pressure overseas.
The above fits in-line with what was reported earlier today here. A stimulus package sounds good for businesses and investments but I don't think it quite nearly has the same effect in the current global economic climate as it would back in the day.
