Admin’s Note

As the importance of economic security increases, it is highly significant that the government is considering establishing a new think tank. Given the instability of the international economic situation, it is clear that risk analysis and countermeasures are essential. It will be important to see how this institution operates and what concrete results it achieves. As citizens, we also need to actively receive information and deepen our understanding. We should pay close attention to future developments.
