It is not clear why Abe and his advisers believe that this will deliver sustained real GDP growth of 2% a year. Although the $120 billion is presumably just for the current year (if the spending can be made to happen that quickly), he also spoke during his campaign about a ten-year rise in government spending of ¥200 trillion yen, substantially more than the $120 billion annual rate.
安倍晋三计划在宽松的货币战略之外辅之以政府增支1 200亿美元（或GDP的2%）。安倍晋三及其幕僚为何认为这能将真实GDP增长率维持在每年2%不得而知。尽管1 200亿美元增支只是今年的计划（如果支出可以以如此之快的速度进行的话），但在竞选过程中，他还声称将在10年中让政府增支200万亿日元，即每年的增支幅度都会超过1 200亿日元。所有这些对国民债务和日本利率的影响都将是巨大的。
