Summary
370 trillion yen — about $2.3 trillion — will be deployed under Japan's biggest-ever investment plan, growth minister Minoru Kiuchi said, framing it as a new push for economic expansion.
Kiuchi said the strategy is meant to rekindle Japan's "animal spirits," using innovation-driven growth to restore confidence in the country's competitiveness.
Tokyo is pitching the plan not just as stimulus but as a long-term effort to secure Japan's international standing through stronger private-sector dynamism and investment.
