#Japanese Prime Minister #Shigeru #Ishiba's cabinet approved a #stimulus #package that's slightly bigger than last year's, as he followed up on a pledge to ramp up support for households and businesses struggling to cope with higher costs. The stimulus lays out fiscal spending of 21.9 trillion yen ($140 billion) on measures to support sustained #wage gains and cash handouts for low income households, subsidies for gas and electricity bills and investment into the #semiconductor and #AI sector, according to the Cabinet Office on Friday.

#BudgetWithET | #BudgET #Expectations: #NarendraModi is back in power, this time with a stronger reliance on the #NDA #coalition. Even as he looks to fulfil a host of #poll promises, including the one to make #India the third-largest #economy in the world, will #FinanceMinister #NirmalaSitharaman give up fiscal prudence thrust?

This is a Ministry wise allocation of Budget FY 23-24 and Interim Budget FY 24-25 The ministries expected to receive a 5% more allocation than in previous year and if the amount is more than 500 crores(subjective materiality) in differential allocation- are highlighted in green. The one in orange is highlighted because there is a 5% plus total allocation but majorly due to increase in revenue expenditure The ministry of Atomic energy is highlighted because the ministry is being said to be kept by the Prime minister himself therefore I expect some surprise in allocation here. Note: The Interim Budget was prepared by the incumbent government- BJP and the Final Budget will be prepared by the Elected NDA coalition Govt. Most ministries with major allocation in the above budgets are headed by the same person in BJP as before. Though the interim budget is prepared - there are now big announcements made because the incumbent govt could take undue advantage of it in the electoral process therefore a final full budget shall be prepared by the elected government on (expected) July 22 this year. The final budget could be reflective of the direction of govt focus and after the recent huge RBI dividends it is expected that govt could increase their capex in this budget. Many expect after the election there could be some shift in spending towards public welfare schemes.

What's happening in the UK investment market following Labour's win? Labour's electoral victory could lead to a short-term uplift for UK shares and sectors like infrastructure and defence may experience a boost over time as a result of the new government. Labour’s manifesto outlined spending intentions in areas such as £24 billion on green initiatives and spending 2.5% of GDP on defence, so these areas could be ones to watch. It's important to add there are likely to be eventual implications rather than any expected immediate impact. More here: https://bit.ly/4eZJnPH #Labour #UKGovernment #UKElection
