Until now, the government and lawmakers have largely focused on economic and financial policies to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Last month, the government enacted the first supplementary budget for the fiscal year that ends next March, and it soon began preparations for a second one. This used much of its political capital.<\/p><p>Although the second budget has not been enacted yet, the government is starting to legislate again \u2014 policies and bills suspended due to the crisis are now back on the agenda. Some lawmakers are calling for Prime Minister Abe Shinzo to extend the current Diet session, now slated to end June 17. This would give legislators more time to catch up with all of the bills scheduled to be approved in these coming weeks. However PM Abe has so far shown no indications he will do so.<\/p><p>This month\u2019s edition of Policy Radar focuses on policy developments in finance, technology and foreign affairs. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d68066 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5d68066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e17eb73 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e17eb73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-827b622\" data-id=\"827b622\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f2ce17\" data-id=\"6f2ce17\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e8c14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56e8c14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Want to Stay Informed?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d988277 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d988277\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sign up for monthly updates on the latest political developments impacting your industry in Japan:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50ca16a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"50ca16a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff;

This policy package aims to further help small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and people under major financial strain because of the virus.<\/p><p>More than \u00a560 trillion will go to financing for businesses through the Japan Finance Corporation and private lenders. \u00a512 trillion worth of capital support will come in the form of state-backed loans from the Japan Investment Corporation, the Development Bank of Japan and the Japan Finance Corporation. Another \u00a515 trillion will be added to an existing state reserve aimed at safeguarding struggling lenders. The budget also includes a measure to provide two-thirds of monthly rent up to \u00a5500,000 through loans for a period of six months. Those eligible must have seen their income drop by 50% from the same month last year, or by an average of 33% over the last three months.<\/p><p>On June 8, the government brought the budget to the House of Representatives, aiming for approval on June 10.

The government envisions a framework in which bank holding companies simply report their investments to the FSA and no longer need prior approval for purchases. The goal is to enable banks to quickly develop new services based on sales data. The plan would also permit banking and brokerage units within the same conglomerate to share customer data without consumer consent.<\/p><p>The ruling Liberal Democratic Party would also like to allow banks to offer real estate brokering services.

In the past, management that did not meet government-set targets were forced out of the company.<\/p><p>The aim of the changes is to let local banks increase their reserves, which will facilitate more lending to distressed companies and boost local economies. The total amount available for public funding will also be increased to \u00a515 trillion from \u00a512 trillion, and the dividend paid to the government will be reduced. The deadline to accept public funding will be extended to March 2026 from the current cutoff of March 2022.

Previously, technology developers had to go through multiple applications with different ministries and government agencies to get their products approved, but the new law creates a top-down approach to accelerate the process. The new rules will only apply to selected municipalities that have launched forums with private companies and the national government. After gaining approval, the Prime Minister will urge government agencies to suspend regulations in that area. Smart cities will have to collect and share surveys and data with the central government. The government will accept applications from this month, and is looking to approve the first candidates as early as this summer. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ac4e2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4ac4e2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>New law requires transparency from e-giants<\/b><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02461c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02461c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Japanese Diet enacted a law requiring leading technology companies and e-giants to be more transparent about their contracts and business practices.

The ministry is able to request comments from merchants, conduct reviews and publicize the results. If METI considers a company to have an insufficient level of transparency, it can issue an improvement order. If it decides the company has taken insufficient efforts, it will ask the Fair Trade Commission to see if there are antitrust violations.<\/p><p>E-commerce giants will have to give advance notice of any contract changes and create systems that allow for complaints from other parties. Companies will also be asked to clarify how they determine order results on their websites. The law does contain any penalties or fines.
