Central Japan Economic Federation
Riding on the strength of wages reaching 30-year record highs, Japan is now overcoming long-term deflation and making a fresh start for full recovery from the woes of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, as the backdrop overshadowing personal spending, rising prices due to the weaker yen and other such factors, the precarious situations in the Ukraine and Middle East, and the stagnant Chinese economy are making the future more unpredictable.
Despite these circumstances, it is important for us not to miss the historical turning points in front of us and to put the Central Japan economy on a steeper growth trajectory.
In the Chubu Economic Federation Mid-Term Action Guidelines, ACTION 2025, formulated in June 2021, we highlighted three creation goals—creation of added value, creation of human capital, and creation of a region full of charm―as three pillars and have been conducting activities to reinforce regional strength through industry-academic-government and interregional collaboration.
This fiscal year, the fourth year of ACTION 2025, we will emphasize implementation more than ever, focusing on putting plans into practice and tenaciously following through with them.
In addition to the creation of a next-generation travel and transport industry, the realization of a carbon-free society, and the promotion of innovation, we will particularly work to develop diverse human capital, including future generations, and make policy recommendations to the central government concerning road development and revision of the Strategic Energy Plan with the aim of maximizing the effects of the Central Transit Corridor of Japan.
In addition, recognizing that now is the time when a further progress of Central Japan is at stake, we will envision what the region should be like by 2050 and clarify the milestones and concrete steps to achieve it.
Our role as a regional economic organization is to open up paths that lead to the resolution of social issues and reinforcement of regional strengths by connecting local governments, industries, and educational institutions with local areas and aligning their vectors.
Only through collaboration and co-creation with our members can Central Japan grow sustainably, and we would like to ask for your continued support and cooperation.
