経済｜未成年向けNISA導入へ政府検討 / Economy | Government considering the introduction of NISA for minors

Summary

The government is considering allowing minors under the age of 18 to take advantage of the tax-exempt small investment system (NISA).

This initiative aims to support asset formation for parenting generations, and it is expected that parents will be able to utilize the “accumulation investment allowance” in their children’s names. There are also discussions about enabling usage from birth, which could allow many families to start managing their assets early on.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey, Log, did you know that minors can use NISA too now?
Log: Yeah, I heard about that. It seems like it’s aimed at supporting asset building for families raising children.
Chako: That’s amazing! The idea that parents can invest in their children’s name is so exciting!
Log: Definitely, it means kids will have the chance to learn money management from an early age.
Navi: Just to add, since it’s considering use from age zero, you could say it’s part of early education.
Chako: You’re right! Learning about money is really important!

Admin’s Note

The recent expansion of the NISA program to include minors is very good news for families raising children. By allowing asset building from an early age, it can potentially lead to greater financial independence for our children in the future. Additionally, as more children like Chako develop an interest in finance, it would be great if this encourages more families to focus on financial education. I’m looking forward to seeing how the government’s program design evolves and will keep an eye on future developments.
