Denial of involvement of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in the establishment of a subsidized council for sustainable benefit
At the press conference on the 8th, it was said that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was involved in the establishment of the service design promotion council, which was entrusted by the government with the project of "sustaining benefit". No," he denied.
The service design promotion council of the general incorporated corporation, which was entrusted by the government with a business of sustainable benefit that provides up to 2 million yen to small and medium-sized enterprises, held a press conference with the major subcontractor, Dentsu, on the 8th night. Opening, President Yuichi Okubo apologized for delays in payment of benefits.
In addition, the two parties did not receive direct consignment because of the financial judgment that it was not appropriate to reflect a large amount of public money on the Dentsu balance sheet. As a rule, the meeting explained that there is no profit.
In addition, since it was pointed out that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry may have been involved in the establishment, since the Council has been contracting the business of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry immediately after it was established in 2016, it is said that the Council Hirakawa Kenji, the executive director, said that he had been considering the establishment of an incorporated corporation to support small and medium-sized enterprises about six months before the establishment, and denied that "I would like to say that METI has no involvement at all."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to start an interim inspection with external experts this month to see if there are any problems with spending on sustainable benefits.
