Note : This is an oral presentation and may differ from the original manuscript.

Looking back at the international situation last year, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been prolonged, the military conflict between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas has deepened the humanitarian crisis, and Turkey has caused more than 60,000 deaths.・It was a year in which we were exposed to the threat of natural disasters, such as the Syrian earthquake and the large-scale wildfires on Maui, Hawaii.
On the other hand, it was also a year in which generative AI suddenly came into the spotlight. AI can learn data patterns and relationships and generate a variety of content in response to simple instructions.It has higher accuracy than before and has rapidly become popular, but concerns about safety have also arisen around the world. Discussions regarding regulation have also become more active.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has lifted the "international public health emergency" regarding the new coronavirus, which was first confirmed to be infected in Japan in January 2020, and there are no infectious diseases in Japan. The legal classification has been lowered to "Class 5", the same as seasonal influenza. The global coronavirus crisis, which lasted for more than three years, has switched to a peacetime system and social and economic activities are heading toward normalization.
Now, in the "Economic Outlook for FY2020 and Basic Stance on Economic and Fiscal Management," the government has announced that, along with the progress of comprehensive economic measures, the government will improve the income environment, including wage increases through public-private collaboration, and increase companies' appetite for capital investment. It is expected that economic growth led by private demand will be realized as a result of the support provided by the government. Although there are various challenges ahead, I hope that a virtuous cycle of prices and wages will emerge and the Japanese economy will regain its strong growth potential.
Japan's general account budget for fiscal year 2020 is set at 112 trillion yen, a 1.6% decrease from the previous year, as a budget to take on challenges that cannot be postponed in response to changes in the times and grasp the flow of change amidst a historical turning point. The total amount was 571.7 billion yen. Although the initial budget is lower than the previous year's budget for the first time in 12 years, it is the second largest on record, and the fiscal situation continues to be severe, with more than 30% of financial resources relying on government bonds.
In terms of expenditures, in addition to implementing policies based on the Children's Future Strategy and strengthening defense capabilities in response to the diplomatic environment, we will protect the lives of those affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake and implement measures to restore and rebuild the affected areas. Although thorough fiscal measures have been taken to ensure that the situation can be met, general expenditures decreased by 6.8% from the previous fiscal year to 67,776.4 billion yen due to reductions in contingency funds and other factors.
In addition, the deficit in the primary balance, which is an indicator of fiscal health, was 8,816.3 billion yen, a decrease of 1,945 billion yen from the previous fiscal year.
Next, regarding the initial budget of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the general account budget increased by 5.1% from the previous year to 8,453 billion yen, setting a record high for the third consecutive year. Metropolitan tax will increase by 3.0% from the previous fiscal year to 6,386.5 billion yen, which is expected to be the highest amount ever recorded, same as the national tax revenue. General expenditures related to policy expenses include seamless support for everyone from children to the elderly, efforts to quickly establish a strategic framework that generates innovation, and resilience to respond to all threats such as large-scale earthquakes. Due to initiatives aimed at realizing a vibrant capital city, Tokyo, the total amount increased by 7.3% from the previous fiscal year to 6,370.2 billion yen.

Our city is still in the middle of urban infrastructure development, and even though it is difficult to predict the future of the financial environment, we cannot stop moving forward. We also need to respond accurately to changes in social conditions and the diversifying needs of citizens, and continuously develop projects that are directly connected to citizens' lives. Although the city has been in a difficult situation to secure financial resources, it has steadily promoted planned projects and achieved results by optimizing staff allocation and improving operations.
In FY2020, as measures against the new coronavirus infection that have been in place for the past few years have come to an end, we will continue to respond flexibly to changes in the socio-economic situation, such as by eliminating income limits for the medical expenses subsidy system for compulsory education-aged children and high school students. In addition to ensuring the necessary level of administrative services, we will further thoroughly review administrative operations, strive for efficient and effective administrative and financial management, and steadily advance the Fifth Long-Term Comprehensive Plan of Inagi City, which is now in its fourth year.

Personal municipal tax revenue has decreased due to the end of temporary measures associated with the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the impact of fixed tax reductions.Among fixed asset taxes, regarding land, there has been a review of the assessed value due to revaluation, and reserved land in land readjustment areas. We are forecasting an increase in revenue due to factors such as disposal and cancellation of production green space, but a decrease in revenue for houses due to the significant impact of depreciation of existing houses due to revaluation.
In addition, national treasury disbursements increased by 244.72 million yen due to an increase in education and childcare benefit costs for children, and metropolitan government disbursements increased by ¥444.72 million due to an increase in subsidies for projects to reduce the burden on multi-child households using nursery schools, etc. We anticipate an increase in revenue of 19.16 million yen.

Property costs increased by 914.6 million yen due to increases in system standardization-related costs, community comprehensive support center business commission fees, childbirth and childcare support gift business commission fees, and garbage collection and transportation commission fees.

Personnel costs increased by 280.59 million yen due to an increase in the number of employees, salary revisions, and the start of payment of diligence allowances for employees appointed in the fiscal year.
