Toward the realization of his own "new capitalism," Prime Minister Kishida wants to utilize the power of the private sector to solve social issues, and begins to consider the need for a new legal system for public-private partnerships. Clarified my thoughts.
Prime Minister Kishida, Minister for Economic Revitalization Yamagiwa, and private citizens attended the "New Capitalism Realization Conference" held at the Prime Minister's Office.
In this, Prime Minister Kishida pointed out that physical distance will not be a negative factor by advancing digitization, and the household coverage rate of optical fiber networks capable of high-speed and stable communication will be 99.9% by the end of 2027. Emphasized that he wanted to achieve his goal.
In addition to setting up a council of telecommunications carriers and local governments for digitalization in the region, he expressed his intention to promote "smart agriculture, forestry and fisheries" utilizing ICT.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Kishida said, "Public-private partnerships have been responsible for solving social issues, but I feel that more and more entrepreneurs are pursuing both the solution of social issues and economic growth." He clarified the idea of starting to consider the need for a new legal system regarding the ideal form of public-private partnership.
