Japan's budget requests for the next fiscal year swelled to 143.1 trillion yen ($917.78B) on Friday amid an expansionary fiscal agenda that pushed government borrowing costs to three-decade highs. The total surpasses the 140.61 trillion yen package from the prior year, nearing pandemic-era support spending levels.
