新興企業投資で税優遇　ＮＹ証取で講演、ＮＩＳＡ恒久化も―岸田首相

　【ニューヨーク時事】岸田文雄首相は２２日午後（日本時間２３日未明）、ニューヨーク証券取引所でスピーチした。投資促進策として、株の売却益をスタートアップ（新興企業）投資に充てた場合の税優遇や、新興企業の社員らが自社株の売却益を得やすくなる「ストックオプション税制」の拡充に前向きな考えを示した。
　首相は「日本経済は力強く成長を続ける。確信を持って日本に投資してほしいというメッセージを届けに来た」と強調。政府が年末に策定する「資産所得倍増プラン」にも触れ、少額投資非課税制度（ＮＩＳＡ）について、「恒久化が必須だ」と述べた。
　首相は、自身の看板政策「新しい資本主義」を米大リーグの大谷翔平選手の「二刀流」になぞらえ、「成長と持続可能性のｔｗｏ　ｗａｙだ」と表現。具体的な施策として、コーポレートガバナンス（企業統治）改革を加速するため、政府が近く海外投資家から意見を聞くと明らかにした。（2022/09/23-05:05）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called for more foreign investment in his country, touting his comprehensive package of policy measures aimed at renewing the growth of the Japanese economy in a speech at the New York Stock Exchange Thursday.
   "I have come here today to Wall Street, the center of the global economy, with this message: 'Japan's economy will continue to show strong growth. You can invest in Japan with confidence.'"
   Kishida said his "new form of capitalism" economic policy is a "two-way strategy," referring to Japanese-born Major League Baseball star Shohei Ohtani. "Of course, it is not to hit and pitch, but to promote growth and sustainability," he said.
   "I firmly believe that the creative energy of the private sector is crucial for prosperity and a strong economy. Growth will only be achieved if we harness this energy," he said.
   Kishida said that one very important policy is to "accelerate and further strengthen corporate governance reforms in Japan." The Japanese government will establish a forum in the near future to hear from investors from around the world, he said.
