TOKYO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Taro Aso on Thursday unveiled Japan's second economic package in about two months that includes spending worth 5 trillion yen ($50.8 billion) as the global credit crisis pushes the world's No.2 economy into a recession.
The latest steps came on top of an 11.7 trillion yen ($118 billion) economic package compiled in late August which was aimed at helping ease the pain from high oil prices, including cutting highway tolls and boosting loan guarantees for small firms. (Reporting by Tetsushi Kajimoto)
