With the victory of the ruling party in the July House of Councillors election viewed as voter support for pushing Abenomics further, the extraordinary session of the Diet set to start in September is expected to focus on debating important economic issue such as bills related to the TPP and a second delay to the consumption tax increase. In light of the stimulus package of over 28 trillion yen announced at the end of July, a second supplementary budget proposal will also be debated. With the G20 Summit to be held in China in early September, there is also significant interest in the effects of events such as the Chinese economic slowdown and Brexit on the Japanese and global economies.
