　経団連は７日、正副会長会議を開き、２０２３年春闘に向けた経営側の基本姿勢として、物価高を特に重視し、賃上げに前向きな対応を会員企業に求める方針案を大筋で了承した。会合後に記者会見した十倉雅和会長は「物価上昇をにらんだ賃上げが大事だ。（会員企業に）ベースアップ（ベア）を中心に考えてほしいとお願いしたい」と述べた。
　経団連は、春闘に向けた経営側の指針「経営労働政策特別委員会報告」（経労委報告）を取りまとめ、年明けに公表する。物価上昇を反映した賃上げをテーマに、労使の議論が本格化することになる。（2022/11/07-20:15）

The Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, will ask member companies to raise pay, especially pay scales, in next year's "shunto" spring labor-management wage talks, Keidanren Chairman Masakazu Tokura said Monday.
   "It's important that companies raise wages in view of higher prices. We want to ask our members to consider mainly raising pay scales," Keidanren Chairman Masakazu Tokura told a press conference after draft shunto guidelines were broadly adopted at a meeting of the chairman and vice chairs of the leading employers' group in the country. Finalized guidelines will be made public early next year.
   Noting that actions to cope with rising prices are socially required, the draft guidelines hammered out the policy of asking member companies to "respond positively to maintain and boost the momentum of pay increases."
   In his meeting with Tokura the same day, industry minister Yasutoshi Nishimura called for "bold and drastic decisions" on pay hikes in the 2023 shunto negotiations.
   But with the pace of recovery from the coronavirus crisis varying by company and industry sector, it remains unclear to what extent pay-scale hikes become reality.
