Gurunavi shares surged, with the current price at ¥134. Buying spread after reports that the government was considering support for dining out, including Go To Eat.
Gurunavi, a restaurant information website operator, surged, with the traded price reaching ¥134, up ¥15 from the previous day. Expectations for support measures related to dining out encouraged buying.
The government submitted a bill to cut the consumption tax rate on food products from the current 8% to 1%. Dining out, however, would remain at 10%, prompting concerns that the tax gap with takeout would widen. The prime minister explained that the government was considering support measures, including premium vouchers.
