The concept of the "All Okinawa Free Trade Zone" is an epoch-making policy which will greatly contribute to industrial and economic development and an increase in the standard of living. It is also expected to play a leading role in setting an example of global economy framework formation which is one of the Japanese government's goals.
However, Okinawa's local industry will be inevitably affected by the All Okinawa FTZ policy whose territory includes all of Okinawa. Thus, new systems such as cuts in the investment tax rate should be introduced before implementing the FTZ policy so that local industry will be strengthened and people's living conditions become stabilized by the year of introduction of the All Okinawa FTZ Policy. It may be appropriate to implement other policies for a specific period of time to strengthen the ability of certain local industries to be competitive.
