【Q＆Aで】「G20」今回の焦点は
Q。[Q&A] G20 What is the focus this time?
A。What is the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting?
When it comes to international conferences that start with G, the G7, which includes Japan, is well-known.
ただ、1990年代後半に起きたアジア通貨危機をきっかけに、先進国だけではなく新興国も加えた議論が必要だという機運が高まり、1999年に主要20か国の財務相・中央銀行総裁が集まる会議がスタートしました。However, triggered by the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, there was a growing momentum for discussions that included not only developed countries but also emerging countries, and in 1999, a meeting was started where finance ministers and central bank governors from the major 20 countries gathered.
その後、2008年には世界に広がった金融危機＝リーマンショックをきっかけに首脳が集まるサミットも開かれるようになりました。After that, in 2008, summits where leaders gather began to be held, prompted by the global financial crisis known as the Lehman Shock.
G20では主に世界経済や金融の課題について議論が行われます。At the G20, discussions primarily focus on global economic and financial issues.
G7に加え、GDPが2位の中国、5位のインド、10位のブラジル、さらに中米、オセアニア、東南アジア、中東、アフリカの国々も参加します。In addition to the G7, countries such as China, which ranks 2nd in GDP, India, which ranks 5th, Brazil, which ranks 10th, as well as countries from Central America, Oceania, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa will also participate.
参加国のGDPは世界全体のおよそ8割を占め、ここでまとめられた共同声明や成果は影響力が大きいとされています。The GDP of participating countries accounts for approximately 80% of the worlds total, and the joint statements and outcomes summarized here are considered to have a significant impact.
持ち回りとなっている議長国で年2回ほど開催するほか、IMF＝国際通貨基金と世界銀行の年次総会などにあわせる形でワシントンでも開かれ、今回の会議はこれにあたります。In addition to being held twice a year in the rotating chair country, meetings are also held in Washington to coincide with the annual meetings of the IMF International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and this conference is one of those.
Q。G20でどんな結果が出れば、日本にとって望ましいの？
A。What outcome would be desirable for Japan at the G20?
At this G20 summit, discussions are expected among countries on how to respond to the tariff policies of the Trump administration in the United States. The biggest focus is likely to be whether the United States and China, which are imposing particularly high tariffs on each other, can find a way to resolve their conflict.
米中の対立が長引くほど、両国と経済的な結びつきが強い日本にとっては大きな打撃となり、すでに企業の中には先が見通せないとしてしばらく投資を控えようという動きも出始めています。The longer the conflict between the US and China drags on, the greater the blow to Japan, which has strong economic ties with both countries. Some companies have already begun to hold off on investments for a while, citing uncertainty about the future.
さらに、先行きに慎重になる経営者が増えれば、来年の春闘はことしよりも賃上げ率が低くなる可能性があると予想する専門家もいます。Furthermore, some experts predict that if more business leaders become cautious about the future, the wage increase rate in next years spring labor negotiations could be lower than this years.
G20の議論を通じて経済の先行きに対する企業の不安は和らぐのか、私たちの暮らしにも関わってきそうです。Through the G20 discussions, whether the anxiety of businesses about the economic outlook will ease seems likely to affect our lives as well.
