Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has called for discussions on economic measures next month and has given the ruling party an outline for measures to cut gasoline and other fuel prices by the end of August. "I've heard a lot of people say this summer that they're distressed by rising prices for gasoline and other fuels," he said in a speech on Tuesday. "This month we will first consider the overall solution to this problem, and wait until next month to fully discuss the overall economic plan.”
