According to three Japanese government sources quoted by Reuters, the Japanese government will announce a 26 trillion yen ($240 billion) economic package later on Thursday.
The govt expects the stimulus package will push up the gross domestic product (GDP) by 1.4%, the sources added.
They further said that “the package would include fiscal spending of 13.2 trillion yen aimed at stalling growth in the world’s third-largest economy amid downward pressure overseas.”
“The total package would include government loans, credit guarantees and private-sector spending,” they concluded.
