TOKYO: Japan’s tax revenues will hit a 24-year high this fiscal year as many companies reap record profits, allowing the government to cut new bond issuance for the year, sources familiar with the matter said.
The government will also use the proceeds to fund a supplementary budget slightly exceeding 3 trillion yen (US$24.3bil) to be announced on Dec 18, the sources said yesterday. – Reuters
