TOKYO : A package of economic measures Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s government is compiling will likely come to about 17 trillion yen ($112.15 billion) in size, the Asahi Shimbun reported on Wednesday.

Kishida said last week his government hoped to compile the package to cushion the economic blow from rising inflation on Nov. 2.
