Chako: Hey Log, the proposed budget for next year is 122 trillion yen—that’s incredible! What does that mean?
Log: That’s right, Chako. The fact that the budget proposal is the largest ever means the government is planning significant expenditures. In other words, the issuance of government bonds will also increase.
Chako: Government bonds mean the country is going into debt, right? What will the impact of that be?
Navi: An increase in government bonds could put a strain on the country’s finances in the future. With rising interest payments, careful management will be necessary.
Log: That’s why economic policy is so important. We need to keep an eye on future developments.
Chako: I see—this could affect our lives too!
