Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba: Over 10 trillion yen to be invested in AI and semiconductors by 2030

Shigeru Ishiba: In order for people to feel prosperous in their lives, we need to raise current and future wages and incomes. As the most important task at hand, we have formulated comprehensive economic measures to ensure people's security and stability and to promote sustainable development. In addition, both the Japanese economy and small economies need to grow. In addition to the minimum wage, we will raise wages and incomes so that small and medium-sized enterprises and businesses can grow rapidly. We will provide support to promote commercialization and digitization and to strengthen the foundation of the economy. By 2030, we will implement more than 10 trillion yen of investment in artificial intelligence and semiconductors. We will support the purchase of clean energy vehicles and the reform of low-energy housing. (Zaibatsu)
