The Liberal Democratic Party and Constitutional Reform Alliance have settled on a schedule for debating the supplementary budget for fiscal 2026.
The budget committees of both the upper and lower houses will each dedicate one day to deliberations on the extra budget. The fiscal year began in April.
The agreement was reached on May 30. It sets the timeline for parliamentary review of the supplementary measures.

The Japanese government approved an 8.56 trillion yen stopgap budget on March 27 to fund operations for the first 11 days of fiscal 2026 starting April 1, due to stalled upper house deliberations on the main 122.31 trillion yen budget passed by the lower house earlier this month. This is the first such provisional measure in 11 years, backed by ruling and main opposition parties, and expected to pass parliament on March 30.
Japan's House of Representatives passed the fiscal 2026 budget proposal on March 14, supported by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and Japan Innovation Party's majority, sending it to the House of Councillors. The budget totals a record 122.3 trillion yen, drawing criticism from opposition parties over the short deliberation time. The ruling coalition aims for passage by the fiscal year-end despite uncertainties in the upper house.
