石川県「復興基金」に５２０億円　交付税措置、熊本超える規模に―能登地震

　岸田文雄首相は３１日、首相官邸で開かれた能登半島地震復旧・復興支援本部の会合で、石川県が創設する「復興基金」の財源として、特別交付税５２０億円を措置する考えを明らかにした。新潟、富山両県には、県が単独で実施する液状化対策事業の費用の８割を特別交付税で手当てする方針を示した。
　２０１６年４月に発生した熊本地震の際の５１０億円を超える交付額となる。会合で岸田首相は、「過去の財政措置の考え方を踏まえつつ、甚大な被害を受けた能登の６市町は高齢化率が高く、財政力が低いという実情を考慮する」と説明した。
　石川県は、６月議会に復興基金創設のための条例案を提出する方針。基金を活用し、液状化対策や住宅内の水道配管修繕、住宅再建のための利子助成といった事業を進める。（2024/05/31-12:06）

The Japanese government will allocate 52 billion yen in special tax grants to a fund Ishikawa Prefecture will set up for reconstruction after the Jan. 1 Noto Peninsula earthquake, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Friday.
   At a meeting of the government's task force for the reconstruction of the central Japan peninsula, Kishida said the high percentages of elderly residents and low fiscal resources at the six severely affected municipalities, as well as past similar fund allocations, were considered in deciding the amount of tax grants to the Ishikawa fund.
   The planned amount exceeds the 51 billion yen allocated for reconstruction after the southwestern prefecture of Kumamoto was struck by big quakes in April 2016.
   The Ishikawa government will submit a bill to establish the reconstruction fund to the prefectural assembly in June. It plans to use the fund to carry out projects such as tackling soil liquefaction, repairing water pipes in houses and subsidizing interest payments for residents who rebuild their houses.
   At the meeting, Kishida also said that the central government will allocate special tax grants to cover 80 pct of the costs for projects to deal with soil liquefaction that the central prefectures of Niigata and Toyama, also affected by the Noto Peninsula temblor, will conduct.
