Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered economic revitalization minister Nobuteru Ishihara on Tuesday to draft a range of economic measures to bust deflation and raise Japan's growth potential, including with a supplementary budget for fiscal 2016.
The government will submit the budget draft for fiscal 2016 to an extraordinary Diet session this fall, Ishihara told a news conference later in the day.
Ishihara declined to comment on the size of the economic measures, saying that will be decided at the end of the month using a "bottom-up approach."
