About half of the 234 measures that the Economic Strategy Council, an advisory panel to Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, has proposed are likely to be carried out, according to a report released by the government Friday.
The followup report compiled by the Cabinet Councilors' Office for Internal Affairs says about 50 percent of the panel's proposals have been ranked by the government as "A" and are currently being studied by ministries and agencies to be carried out in the near future.
About 40 percent of the proposals are ranked "B," which means they need to be studied further before deciding whether to carry them out, and about 10 percent are categorized as "C," which means they are problematic.
