SUBJECT: JAPAN'S CABINET APPROVES FY2008 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET 
 
REF: TOKYO 02393 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: Just one month after the Government of 
Japan,s August 29 announcement of an economic policy package 
(reftel), the Cabinet Office approved September 29 the first 
supplemental budget for FY2008 to fund a portion of the 
spending promised under the package, and submitted it 
immediately to the Diet.  The supplemental budget includes a 
net 1.1 trillion ($10.5 billion) in general account spending 
and another 0.2 trillion in Fiscal Investment and Loan 
Program (FILP, often referred to as the "second budget") 
outlays.  Excluding expenditures unrelated to headline 
figures of the 11.7 trillion ($111.5 billion) economic 
package, the first supplemental budget funds about 1.8 
trillion ($17 billion) in central government expenditures, 
and 0.2 trillion ($1.9 billion) in FILP outlays.  The 
combined 2 trillion ($19 billion) in funding represents 17% 
of the total amount committed under the August 29 package. 
The remaining 83% portion of the package consists largely of 
local government spending and an expansion of government loan 
guarantee programs. In addition, the Cabinet will compile a 
second FY2008 supplemental budget in December to finance 
individual income tax cuts also promised in the economic 
package.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) It is uncertain at this stage whether and when the 
Diet will approve the proposed first supplemental budget.  If 
an election does not interrupt the current session, the Diet 
is expected to approve it in early December.  However, if 
opposition parties that have the majority in the Upper House 
decide to block its passage, Diet approval will be delayed 
(Japan,s constitution stipulates that, at the latest, a 
budget bill will become law 30 days after Lower House 
approval, regardless of consent from the Upper House). 
Furthermore, the possibility looms  that Prime Minister Aso 
may dissolve the Lower House for a general election prior to 
Diet deliberations on the supplemental budget. 
 
General Account Overview 
------------------------- 
3. (SBU) The proposed first FY2008 supplemental budget will 
increase total general account budget expenditures by a net 
1.1 trillion ($10.5 billion) above the already authorized 
83.1 trillion ($791 billion) in the initial FY2008 budget. 
This net increase represents about 1.3% of the regular 
budget, or 0.2% of GDP.  The supplemental budget will fund 
2.1 trillion ($20 billion) in new expenditures, consisting 
of 1.8 trillion ($17 billion) of spending promised under the 
economic stimulus package, and another 0.3 trillion ($2.9 
billion) transfer to a sinking fund. In addition, the 
supplemental budget will reduce outlays previously authorized 
under the initial budget by 1.1 trillion ($10 billion). 
Financing for this new spending will be provided by FY2007 
unused funds and additional government borrowing. The 
Ministry of Finance (MOF) will issue nearly 0.4 trillion 
($3.8 billion) in additional Japanese government bonds (JGB) 
representing the first JGB issuance to finance the 
supplemental budget since FY2002. 
 
FILP Account 
----------- 
4.  (SBU) The Cabinet also approved a first supplemental FILP 
budget for FY2008, which will provide roughly 0.2 trillion 
($1.9 billion) in new outlays.  This increase represents 
about 1.3% of the initial FILP outlays (13.9 trillion/$132 
billion), or 0.03% of GDP. Three government affiliated 
financial institutions such as the National Life Finance 
Corporation, will receive 0.2 trillion ($1.9 billion) from 
the FILP. There was no additional FILP allocation for public 
works-implementing institutions. Financing for the FILP 
supplemental is provided entirely by the issuance of FILP 
bonds.
