On the 13th, the National Governors' Association requested the government to continue to stimulate demand for eating out and support the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, saying that soaring raw material prices have had a great impact on people's lives.
Before the government put together an emergency measure against rising prices, Chairman Hirai of the National Governors' Association met with the Minister for Economic Revitalization Yamagiwa.
Among them, Chairman Hirai said that the prices of raw materials and materials such as energy, agriculture, forestry and fishery products, and semiconductors are soaring, which has a great impact on people's lives and socio-economic activities. I requested that you take measures.
In addition to working to stimulate demand for eating out and supporting people involved in agriculture and fishing that supply foodstuffs, we will continue to support the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises and provide financial resources to prefectures to rebuild the local economy. And so on.
Minister Yamagiwa said, "We would like to take solid measures based on the request."
After that, Chairman Hirai said, "While the local economy is being hurt by the new corona, the situation in Ukraine and soaring oil prices have hit. I would like you to follow up. "
