県民所得３割増、自立目指す　新振興計画を決定―沖縄県

　沖縄県は１５日、２０３１年度までの第６次振興計画を決定した。「本土との格差」は縮小されてきたとしながらも、自立型経済の構築はなお道半ばと指摘。主力産業の観光業や情報通信産業の高付加価値化を図るなどして、全国最低水準が続く県民１人当たりの所得を２０年度に比べ３割余り増やすとした。玉城デニー知事が沖縄復帰５０周年記念式典後、出席した岸田文雄首相に手渡した。
　玉城知事は首相に対し「県民が望む将来像の実現に向け、県民一丸で取り組む」と強調。首相は「沖縄の自立的発展と豊かな生活を実現できるよう、沖縄振興を国家戦略の一つとして積極的に推進したい」と語った。（2022/05/15-16:24）

The prefectural government of Okinawa on Sunday adopted a new economic development program, which calls for boosting the incomes of local residents, among other goals.
   The program, the sixth of its kind and covering the 10 years until fiscal 2031, said that Okinawa is still halfway toward building a self-sustaining economy although the economic gaps between the southernmost Japan prefecture and the rest of the country have been narrowing.
   It stressed that the Okinawa government aims to raise the prefecture's per-capita income, which continues to be the lowest among the 47 prefectures of the country, by some 30 pct from the fiscal 2020 level through measures including those to make the mainstay tourism industry and the information and communications sector have high added value.
   Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki handed a document detailing the program to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida after attending a ceremony held in the Okinawa city of Ginowan the same day to mark the 50th anniversary of the prefecture's return to Japan from post-World War II U.S. occupation.
   "All Okinawa residents will work in unity to realize a vision they wish for the prefecture," Tamaki told Kishida.
