东京——日本财务大臣片山达也周五表示，日本政府将加快效仿特朗普政府设立的“政府效率部”所推行的改革举措，此举可能促使各类补贴及其他公共项目接受严格审查。
TOKYO -- Japan's government will quicken the pace of its initiative modeled on the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said Friday, potentially putting subsidies and other programs under scrutiny.
“我们将加大改革力度，”片山达也在各位部长及副部长齐聚首相官邸、共同商讨对特别税收措施、各类补贴及政府设立的基金进行全面审查事宜时说道。
"We are going to step up a gear," Katayama said as ministers and vice ministers met at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss a sweeping review of special tax measures, subsidies and government-created funds.

Ministries and agencies conducted their own reviews of subsidies and special tax measures while compiling their budget requests and tax reform proposals during the summer. They proposed cutting subsidies worth 17 billion yen Of 121 special tax measures, they sought to abolish only three.

"I absolutely do not believe that the reviews conducted by individual ministries and agencies were sufficient," Katayama said at Friday's meeting. She added that the government would "thoroughly pursue the review" heading into the end of the year.
