財政については、大型の補正予算をたびたび編成し、当初予算から歳出が膨らむ傾向にあることを問題視。「補正予算による追加支出は、パンデミックのような予想外の大規模なショックへの対応に限定されるべき」とした。

また、対国内総生産（ＧＤＰ）比で見た税収が主要７カ国（Ｇ７）の中で低いことを指摘した上で、財政健全化に向けて歳入確保の必要性に言及。消費税率の引き上げや、住宅用地に係る優遇措置の廃止を通じた資産課税の強化、個人所得税制における所得控除の合理化、資本所得税率の引き上げなどを手段として挙げた。

TOKYO — The International Monetary Fund urged Japan on Friday to scale back emergency pandemic support, and consider raising taxes on property and capital income once the economy’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic-induced doldrums is firmly in place.

While authorities must keep supporting households most hard hit by the COVID-19 crisis, they should continue scaling down pandemic-relief measures as the economy recovers, the IMF said.

What is Capital Income?

Capital income is income that comes from capital, which is to say, comes from wealth itself, rather than any specific production or direct work. Examples are stock dividends or any sort of capital gains, as well as income an owner gets from a business he owns but not from the work he does there.

While price momentum will pick up further on higher import costs and robust domestic demand, inflation will remain below the BOJ’s 2% target in the medium term, the IMF said.

Trickle-down economics

From Wikipedia

A 2015 paper by researchers for the International Monetary Fund argues that there is no trickle-down effect as the rich get richer:

[I]f the income share of the top 20 percent (the rich) increases, then GDP growth actually declines over the medium term, suggesting that the benefits do not trickle down. In contrast, an increase in the income share of the bottom 20 percent (the poor) is associated with higher GDP growth.[4]

富裕層のが所得が増えるとGDPはかえって減少するが、底辺の人々の所得を増やせばGDPは成長する、と。

 In 2016, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz wrote that the post-World War II evidence does not support trickle-down economics, but rather "trickle-up economics" whereby more money in the pockets of the poor or the middle benefits everyone

スティグリッツさんなんかも同じようなことを言っているわけだね。貧困層中流の金が増えればみんなを利する、と。
