【米国】160人以上の米国トップCEOがバイデンの復興法案を支持するよう議会に要請

Post by 樺島万里子　2021-02-25

160人以上のニューヨークのCEOたちが水曜日の書簡で、ジョー・バイデン大統領のコロナ対策として、1.9兆ドルの景気刺激策を可決するよう議会に求めました。

これは、火曜日、米国最大の企業のCEOで構成されるBusiness Roundtableが、バイデン政権のCOVID-19による米国救済法案（American Rescue Plan）の迅速な通過を支持する書簡を議会に送ったもの。

署名者には、ゴールドマン・サックスのデビット・ソロモン、ブラックロックのラリーフィンク、ドイツ銀行アメリカのクリスティアナ・ライリー、ブラックストーンのスティーブ・シュワルツマン、野村ホールディングスアメリカの赤塚庸などずらりと錚々たる面々が名を連ねています。

下院民主党は金曜日までに1.9兆ドルのコロナウイルス救済法案を通過させる予定。
上院は、この法案を承認し、主要な失業プログラムが期限切れとなる3月14日までにジョー・バイデン大統領の机に届けることを目指しています。

しかし、共和党は、支出のほぼ2兆ドル以上の必要性を疑問視しており、民主党はパンデミックとは無関係の目標を追求してきたと主張しています。

米国のトップCEO達はこのような共和党の動きを警戒し、今週、民主党が過半数占める下院で、この法案の採決が予定されていることから書簡を議会に送りました。

そして、この書簡には、米国は官民一体となって協力するべきで、経済界は全面的にバイデン政権のこの景気刺激策に協力することを述べ、CEOたちの名前が連ねられています。

それにしても、以前、我が国でもバイデンが大統領選で勝利すると、ウォール街がパニックになるという話が頻繁に語られましたが、それはやはり共和党のデマだったのでしょう。

バイデンの最高経済顧問ブライアン・ディーズは、
「これは、私たちがこの救助計画に期待している幅広い支援の重要なシグナルです。」と、水曜日にMSNBCの手紙について語っています。

その書簡は次の通りです。

多数党院内総務シューマー殿、ペロシ議長、マコネル少数党院内総務、マッカーシー少数党院内総務各位殿
我々は, COVID-19の世界的パンデミックによってもたらされた健康と経済の危機に対処するため、直ちに大規模な連邦法の制定を強く要請します。米国で最初のコロナウイルスの症例が報告されてから1年以上が経過しましたが、米国は感染拡大と闘い、その経済的影響を食い止めるために今も奮闘しています。
連邦政府によるこれまでの救済措置が最も重要でしたが、国を力強く持続的な回復軌道に乗せるためには、さらに多くのことが行われなければなりません。議会は迅速かつ超党派的に行動し、バイデン=ハリス政権が提案した「米国救援計画」に沿った景気刺激策と救済パッケージを承認すべきです。
コロナウイルスに対する公衆衛生の対応の強化は、経済復興への第一歩です。「米国救援計画」は、全米のワクチン接種プログラムを動員し、苦しんでいる家族に経済的救済を提供し、パンデミックで最も被害を受けたコミュニティを支援します。
パンデミックが始まった当時に比べて、現在働いているアメリカ人の数は1000万人以上減少しており、全米の中小企業は倒産に直面し、学校は再開に苦慮しています。女性、有色人種、低賃金労働者を含む最も弱い立場にあるアメリカ人は、前例のない失業、育児の負担、食料不安など、パンデミックの最悪の事態を経験しています。州と都市は、パンデミック関連の費用と収入の損失によってあえいでいます。
「米国救援計画」は、COVID-19を克服し、インクルーシブな新時代の成長に向けて前進させるために官民が協力して取り組むための枠組みを提供しています。米国の経済界は、これらの重要な目標を達成するために皆さんと協力する用意があります。
敬具
