Introduction of 'Honorary Director System' to Reflect Opinions of Small Business Owners
A new system has recently been established to better reflect the voices of small business owners and local commercial districts in policy. This is the 'Honorary Director System,' which appoints external experts as honorary directors.
The core of this system is to appoint external figures with a deep understanding of and field experience in small businesses and local commercial districts as honorary directors. The purpose is to listen directly to diverse opinions from the private sector and incorporate them into policy.
The government and relevant organizations expect that this system will allow them to quickly identify difficulties in the field and find ways to provide practical assistance. In particular, it is expected to be of great help in establishing concrete policies to revitalize the local economy.
Much attention is being focused on what roles these honorary directors will play in the field and what positive changes they will bring to local commercial districts. We hope this system will become a source of real strength for small business owners.
