岸田首相「デフレ脱却し成長経済へ」　賃上げ定着、中小企業活性化―骨太方針

　政府は２１日の持ち回り閣議で、２０２４年の経済財政運営の基本指針「骨太の方針」をほぼ原案通りに決定した。岸田文雄首相は同日、首相官邸で開かれた経済財政諮問会議で「デフレから完全に脱却し、成長型の新しい経済ステージへ移行する千載一遇のチャンスを迎えている」と指摘。賃上げの定着や中堅・中小企業の稼ぐ力の向上を目指す考えを強調した。
　政府は骨太方針で、「今後３年程度で必要な制度改革を含め集中的な取り組みを講じる」ことにより、社会保障などを持続させるのに必要とされる実質ＧＤＰ（国内総生産）１％超の成長を安定的に確保する考えを示した。その上で、２％の物価安定目標が持続的に実現できれば、４０年ごろに「名目ＧＤＰ１０００兆円が視野に入る」としている。（2024/06/21-18:52）

The Japanese government on Friday adopted its economic and fiscal policy guidelines for 2024, which call for fully overcoming deflation and transitioning to a "new growth-oriented economic stage" through continued wage increases and improvements in small businesses' earning power.
   In the annual guidelines, the government said it will take "intensive measures, including necessary institutional reforms, over the next three years or so" to stably achieve real gross domestic product growth of over 1 pct, which is considered necessary to sustain the country's social security system.
   The government noted that a nominal GDP of 1,000 trillion yen will be in sight around 2040 if the country achieves such GDP growth and 2 pct inflation.
   The guidelines are drawn up around June each year to set the government's policy directions on key issues and its budget for the next fiscal year.
   In the 2024 guidelines, the government mentioned a "historic opportunity to achieve a growth-oriented economy," in light of large wage hikes achieved in this year's "shunto" labor-management negotiations and robust corporate capital investment.
