Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to map out his economic growth strategy by June and place a strong emphasis on rejuvenating the manufacturing industry, a draft of the government's strategy says.
The government's economic revitalization headquarters will hold its first meeting Tuesday and start working on concrete measures to reinvigorate the economy in a bid to pull the country out of two decades of stagnation.
The three pillars of the plan are: more effectively targeting policies at sectors with growth potential, such as medical and energy; industrial rehabilitation; and sharpening international business competitiveness, according to a copy of the draft obtained by Kyodo News.
