Conclusion Lastly, I would like to once again touch upon the economy of the Tokai region. As I mentioned earlier, the region is the frontrunner of economic expansion in Japan.
One of the driving forces of such strong growth is that firms are expected to continue making fixed investment -- such as in next-generation cars and related to maglev trains -- from a long-term perspective. I feel that the mindset of firms in this region is always future-oriented, while also taking the present situation into account.
