TOKYO, March 13 (Reuters) - Japan's junior ruling party
Komeito will request the government for a "several trillion yen"
fiscal package to lessen the impact of inflation on households
and businesses, NHK reported on Monday, citing party leader
Natsuo Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi also told reporters that the party will make the
proposal, which includes cash payouts to low-income households
with children and subsidy on liquefied petroleum gas, on
Wednesday, NHK said.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has asked Komeito and
its larger partner Liberal Democratic Party to draft additional
fiscal measures to counter rising living costs this week. (Reporting by Kantaro Komiya; Editing by Muralikumar
