In order to properly respond to major changes in the environment surrounding international finance, as well as to fully establish Tokyo’s position as a leading global financial city, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) is proud to announce plans for a revision of the “Global Financial City: Tokyo” Vision, originally established in November 2017.
As part of these efforts, we announced a revised draft of this concept in July of this year and opened the draft to public comments.
Based on the feedback we received, we are pleased to announce the formulation of the “Global Financial City: Tokyo” Vision 2.0: Realizing a Sustainable Recovery and Working Toward Becoming a World-Leading Global Financial City.
