政府、半導体支援にNTT株活用へ
✍️記事要約
政府による半導体分野の新たな支援計画が明らかになった。NTT株といった政府が持つ資産などを裏付けに新しい国債を出し、調達したお金を企業向けの補助金に使う。最先端半導体の量産を目指すラピダスなどを対象に、2030年ごろまで複数年にわたり支援する。
支援対象には熊本に進出した台湾積体電路製造（TSMC）なども念頭にある。財政上の税負担を回避しつつ民間企業からの投資を呼び込む。
■英訳
The government’s new support plan for the semiconductor sector has been unveiled. It involves issuing new government bonds backed by assets such as NTT shares held by the government, and using the funds raised as subsidies for companies. This multi-year support, lasting until around 2030, will target companies like Rapidus, which aims to mass-produce cutting-edge semiconductors.
The plan also considers companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), which has expanded into Kumamoto. The goal is to attract private investment while avoiding additional tax burdens on public finances.
