与党、6日衆院通過の構え 消費減税、野党の取り込み進まず
財金委には高市早苗首相が1時間出席。中低所得者向けの所得連動給付「就業者負担軽減支援金」の対象者について、現役就業者の「3割以上」とする方針を明らかにした。
これまでは3割に当たる年収100万~350万円の2000万人程度とする「参考値」を示していた。支給対象の拡大に言及することで野党の理解を得る狙いとみられる。公明党の岡本三成代表の質問に答えた。
野党はこうした答弁内容を踏まえ、採決に応じるかどうか決める。

The bill related to the consumption tax reduction was passed at the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the afternoon of the 6th with a majority of support from the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan Restoration Association, and others, and was sent to the House of Councilors. Opposition parties opposed the bill, criticizing the lack of transparency in funding and the design of the benefit system. The government and ruling parties aim to pass the bill by the end of the session on December 12th, and plan to seek support from the Democratic Party of the People and New Komeito in the House of Councilors. Prime Minister Takaichi announced a policy to target ``more than 30%'' of the currently employed population with the ``Employee Burden Reduction Support Fund,'' an income-linked benefit.

Prime Minister Takaichi announced at the House of Representatives Finance and Finance Committee that more than 30% of the currently employed population will be eligible for subsidies to reduce the burden on employees. On the same day, the Nikkei average fell by more than 1,600 yen, dropping below 60,000 yen for the first time in five and a half months, and real wages in September remained positive for nine consecutive months. The Okinawa Policy Council stated that the burden on U.S. military bases will be reduced in a "visible way."

The Komeito Party plans to oppose the consumption tax reduction bill promoted by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi when it is voted on in the House of Representatives on the 6th, but the response in the House of Councilors is uncertain. The possibility of a change in favor is not ruled out ahead of the unified local elections, and trends will be closely watched within and outside the ruling party.

Liberal Democratic Party Country Relations Committee Chairman Hideki Murai met with Country Relations Committee Chairman Yuichi Goto of the House of Representatives moderate faction on the 4th, and it was agreed that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi would attend the House of Representatives Finance and Finance Committee meeting on the 6th for one hour to discuss the consumption tax reduction bill. The ruling party aims to pass the bill in the House of Representatives on the same day, but the Democratic Party of Japan has postponed making a decision on whether or not it is approved.

Data center stocks were sold off heavily.
