Tokyo, Japan – September 2, 2025 – The Ministry of Finance (MOF) today released its comprehensive report detailing the utilization of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, encompassing the post-fiscal year-end adjustment period. Titled “令和6年度予算使用の状況(令和6年度出納整理期間を含む。財務省調査)” (Status of FY2024 Budget Utilization, Including the FY2024 Revenue and Expenditure Settlement Period. Ministry of Finance Survey), the document provides an in-depth look at how public funds were allocated and spent throughout the fiscal year.
The report, published on the MOF’s official website at 07:00 JST, serves as a crucial transparency mechanism, offering citizens and stakeholders a clear understanding of government financial operations. It details the expenditure of funds across various government ministries and agencies, reflecting the budgetary priorities and outcomes for the fiscal year that concluded on March 31, 2025, with the subsequent settlement period extending further.
Key aspects likely covered in the report include:
