Japan to Draw Up over 28 Tr Yen Stimulus amid Brexit Woes
Japan will draw up an economic stimulus package worth more than 28 trillion yen about ($266 billion), apparently aiming to contain any negative impact from Britain's decision
Tokyo - QNA
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Wednesday that Japan will draw up an economic stimulus package worth more than 28 trillion yen about ($266 billion), apparently aiming to contain any negative impact from Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
The government is expected to increase public expenditure on infrastructure building as well as accelerate efforts to boost farm exports and attract more foreign tourists, according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
Actual government spending on the package is likely to be less than that amount, with part of the stimulus coming from the fiscal loan and investment program, which is not based on general budget.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
