Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)

The official website of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry organizes government policy information across the economy, external economic relations, manufacturing, information, distribution and services, small businesses and regional economies, energy and the environment, and public safety. Visitors can find ministry announcements, press releases, ministerial briefings, budget and tax information, policy documents, and METI Journal articles. Its policy pages also explain measures relating to industrial competitiveness, start-ups, investment, finance, tax incentives, regulatory reform, and research and development, with programs grouped by business size or type of support. This is a public information portal for understanding the ministry’s policies, not a commercial marketplace.
