12 July 2001, 17:22 Yamasaki - Further credit easing, securities tax incentives needed
TOKYO (AFX-ASIA) - Taku Yamsaki, secretary general of the Liberal
Democratic Party, said it is necessary for the Bank of Japan to
implement a further monetary easing, together with the government's
planned tax incentives, in order to boost the economy.
"To boost the economy, we should focus on use of monetary policy
and tax incentives. That is, the BoJ should pursue a further monetary
easing," Yamasaki said on a domestic television programme this evening.
"There will be a possibility that a law of tax incentives aimed to
revitalize the stockmarket and land transactions is enacted in the next
extraordinary parliament in the autumn."
"We are not considering increasing expenditures for the public
works projects because we have learned a lesson from past failures that
such measures have no effect on the economy.
