Shinzo Abe, Japanese Prime Minister mulls for announcing a package of new spending measures on Tuesday aiming to boost the economic growth. The planning has been revealed by Nikkei without citing the source of information.

The Japanese prime minister is expected to announce details of the measures through a press conference. The press briefing will take place on the same day of passing country's ￥96.7 trillion (US$855 billion) budget for fiscal 2016. The new spending measures may include shopping vouchers; increase in pay for nursery school teachers and public works projects, reports The Australian Financial Review.

Meanwhile, support for fiscal spending while opposing a planned consumption tax hike has been witnessed to rise, reports Nikkei Asian Review citing a new Nikkei Inc./ TV Tokyo poll as the source. The rise in support indicates an intensifying sense that points to the ever losing speed of Japanese economy.

Support in favor of a bigger budget has been witnessed to increase by 8% to 55% compared to the previous survey conducted in February. However, those who consider a bigger budget unnecessary has fallen 8% to 26%. Support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's signature economic policies have been witnessed to rise by 3% to 34% while for other camps to shrink 1 point to 49%.
