ご挨拶
Message from Chairman Nakao
この度、2024年8月1日付で、新設された株式会社国際経済戦略センター理事長に就任いたしました。
世界は、今まで多くの人が予想もしなかった戦争や国家間の対立に直面し、各国では政治情勢の変動も続いています。
我々が向かっていくと考えてきた、民主主義は今後どう守っていけばよいのでしょうか。
地政学的緊張の高まりは、サプライチェーンやエネルギー価格に影響を与え、同時に気候変動や脱炭素化への対応にも全世界で取り組んでいかなければなりません。現下のインフレと金利上昇は消費者と企業の負担となっていますし、各国が金融危機やコロナへの対応などのために拡張してきた財政・金融政策の持続可能性も大きな課題です。
各国で人口の少子高齢化が進んでおり、この人類史上の転換にどのように対応していくのか、真剣に考えていく必要があります。
AI、デジタル化などの高度技術は大きな機会であるとともに、知的所有権、プライバシー、偽・誤情報、競争条件などの問題にも適切な対応が不可欠です。
国際経済戦略センターでは、各国の経済政策や国際金融、通貨の問題、世界経済への地政学的な影響を中心に、私自身の財務省財務官、アジア開発銀行総裁などの経験を通じて得た知見や国際ネットワークをもとに、独自の視点で情報発信を行ってまいります。
国際社会はどこへ向かうのか、日本は世界・アジア経済の中でどうあるべきか、大局的な観点で情報提供を行い、皆さまとともにさまざまな社会課題の解決に取り組んでまいりたいと考えています。どうかよろしくお願いいたします。

Message from Chairman Nakao
I assumed on August 1, 2024, Chairman of the newly established Center for International Economy and Strategy.
Today, we are faced with wars and conflicts between countries which we have not expected before. Political scenes in countries are also becoming more fluid. How should we try to preserve democracy which we have believed the world is moving for? Geopolitical tensions are affecting global supply chains and energy prices. At the same time, the global community must strengthen cooperation to tackle climate change and to aim at zero carbon economies.
Inflation and interest hikes are now burdening consumers and corporations. Governments must also address the issues of sustainability of fiscal and monetary policies, which have been expanded massively to fight impacts of financial crises and the Covid-19. Many countries face fundamental challenges of how to cope with declining and aging population. Advanced technologies of AI and digitalization are huge opportunities, but it is needed to take appropriate measures regarding intellectual property rights, privacy, spread of disinformation and misinformation, and fair competition.
Center for International Economy and Strategy will provide useful perspectives, information, and knowledge in respect of economic policies, international finance, currencies, and geopolitical impacts on the global economy, based my own experiences and network gained as President of the Asian Development Bank and Vice-Minister for International Affairs of the Ministry of Finance, Japan.
I would like to offer broad-based perspectives and insights on where the global community is going and how Japan should position itself in the international economy and Asia. Together with you, I would like to be a part of efforts to proactively consider important domestic and international issues.
