Challenges for Japan’s economic growth  In the rest of my speech, I will touch on the challenge toward the growth of Japan’s economy. The challenge of how to raise the ability of Japan’s economy to create value-added. The environment has been changing significantly. Information and telecommunications technology has increasingly facilitated the adjustment of global positioning for production and sales bases.
In addition, while the recovery in consumption in the United States and Europe has been sluggish, emerging economies have been increasing their presence. In Japan, the wave of the aging population, which is progressing at the fastest pace in the world, has been quietly approaching China and Asian economies.
