経済安保で基本方針　支援・規制で「一層関与」―政府

　政府は３０日の閣議で、８月に一部が施行された経済安全保障推進法に関する基本方針と基本指針を決定した。基本方針は、「市場や競争に過度に委ねず、政府が支援と規制の両面で一層の関与を行っていくことが必要だ」と強調。半導体など重要物資の安定供給を確保したり、重要技術の研究開発を後押ししたりする姿勢を明確にした。
　供給網（サプライチェーン）強化に向け政府が安定供給を支援する重要物資については、国民の生存に必要不可欠、特定国に過度に依存といった４要件すべてを満たすものを選定すると指針に明記した。対象には半導体や医薬品などを想定している。（2022/09/30-11:03）

The Japanese government Friday adopted a basic policy and basic guidelines on the new law to promote economic security, which partially entered into force in August.
   The basic policy, adopted at a cabinet meeting, pointed to the need to increase government involvement in economic security issues in terms of assistance and regulation, rather than leaving them to market mechanisms too much.
   The policy makes clear that the government will act to secure stable supplies of strategically important goods such as semiconductors and support research and development of key technologies.
   The guidelines say the government will select items that meet all four conditions, such as being indispensable for the survival of the nation and being excessively dependent on a specific country, as strategically important goods.
   The government will provide support to ensure stable supplies of such products by helping strengthen supply chains.
