Japan announced a cut in overall spending for the first time in 12 years in its fiscal 2024/25 budget, amid speculation the central bank may soon shift away from more than two decades of ultra-easy monetary policy.

The budget for the coming fiscal year that starts in April is estimated at 112.07 trillion yen ($787 billion), down 2% from the current year's initial amount of 114.4 trillion yen.

Still, the size of the budget hovers above 110 trillion yen for two straight years.
