Analysis
For Japan fiscal watchers: the MOF released its Q4 FY2025 budget-utilization survey, showing late-year execution and spending across budget items. Utilization data is first-hand evidence of how much government 'budgeted versus actually spent,' with execution rates reflecting policy delivery speed and feeding into next year's budgeting and fiscal-discipline debates. Useful baseline data for policy researchers, grant applicants and anyone assessing Japan's fiscal space.
