ＧＸ担当相、萩生田氏兼務へ　スタートアップ相は山際氏―岸田首相調整

　岸田文雄首相は、９月前半にも行う内閣改造に先立ち、脱炭素化を加速するため新設するグリーントランスフォーメーション（ＧＸ）実行推進担当相に萩生田光一経済産業相を兼務させる調整に入った。政府関係者が２２日明らかにした。２７日の関係会議発足に合わせて任命する案が有力だ。
　また、岸田政権の看板政策「新しい資本主義」の柱の一つ、スタートアップ（新興企業）支援を担う担当相には山際大志郎経済再生担当相を充てる方向。任命は８月になるとみられる。（2022/07/22-23:54）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is considering naming Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Koichi Hagiuda to concurrently serve in a ministerial post to be newly created for green transformation, government sources have said.
   The appointment will likely be made on Wednesday to coincide with the launch of a green transformation-related task force, ahead of a cabinet shake-up planned by the prime minister in the first half of September, the sources said.
   As minister in charge of green transformation, Hagiuda is expected to work on promoting the implementation of measures to accelerate the country's decarbonization.
   Kishida is also planning to appoint, possibly in August, economic revitalization minister Daishiro Yamagiwa as minister for boosting support for startups, one of the key measures for realizing "a new form of capitalism," a signature policy of the prime minister, according to the sources.
   The government aims for a total of 150 trillion yen in public- and private-sector spending over the next 10 years to promote decarbonization. In a speech on Friday, Kishida said that his government plans to prepare an unprecedented framework to help spur huge long-term decarbonization investments by the private sector.
