TOKYO (AFX-ASIA) - The ruling Liberal Democratic Party's acting policy chief Fumio Kyuma said the three government coalition parties are assuming that a supplementary budget will be compiled for the next fiscal year. The parties are "taking for granted" that a budget will be launched, he said, adding that key members also agreed that the government should not be held to the planned 30 trln yen ceiling on new bond issues for the year. In addition, the three parties will set out a new package to deal with increased joblessness on September 5.
