The 37th Meeting of the Council for the Realization of a New Form of Capitalism, held on October 3, 2025, focused on progress toward a growth-oriented economy driven by investment and wage increases. Nominal GDP surpassed 600 trillion JPY and nominal private capital investment (110 trillion JPY) and foreign direct investment stock (56.5 trillion JPY) hit record highs. Overall wage increases reached 5.25%, surpassing the prior year's 33-year high. The national weighted average minimum wage increased by a record +66 JPY (+6.3%) to 1,121 JPY, maintaining the target of 1,500 JPY in the 2020s. Policy targets were established for stable real wage growth of about 1% annually over five years and new domestic investment goals (200 trillion JPY by FY 2040). While startup numbers reached a high of 25,000, key challenges acknowledged include the need to address the decrease in the middle class, improve productivity to counter severe labor shortages, and secure more late-stage investment for startups.
