A summer seminar of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce was held in Tokyo on the 1st, and although the prices of raw materials and fuels are soaring from the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, it is difficult to pass on the prices of products and services to major companies and governments. There were a series of voices calling for a response.
Approximately 130 people, including managers of member companies of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, attended this seminar, which was held for the first time in three years, and discussed recent management issues.
Among them, the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises said that while Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued, soaring raw material and fuel prices were putting pressure on management.
Of these, the owner of a parts manufacturer for precision machinery said, "Although steel prices are rising, it is difficult to negotiate prices with major business partners. To raise employee wages, I want you to create a flow that allows you to pass on prices appropriately, "and asked major companies and the government to take further action.
Chairman Mimura of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, "Many small and medium-sized enterprises want to treat their employees properly even when the added value is limited. To do so, we must definitely raise the transaction price. I also make an effort. I want to. "
The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry will reflect the opinions expressed on the 1st in policy requests to the government and Tokyo.
