[Japan is no exception] The global issue of the 21st century "Water Problem" is now

"Water without a nation" - The luck of the water business affects the international situation

Let's look at the case of water business in the world here.

【日本も例外じゃない】21世紀の地球規模の課題「水問題」のいま

For example, Taiwan, which was mentioned earlier, recorded a semiconductor export value of about 36 trillion yen in 2020, with the world's top semiconductor production capacity seen in the country and region.The semiconductor industry is rich in pure super pure water.However, due to the effects of climate change, the lack of water resources has led to a state of unable to meet the world's semiconductor demand.

The Taiwan Economic Department has revealed that about 5.1 billion yen has been recorded as a relevant countermeasure expenses, such as rising seawater desalination and raising water saving rates in order to maintain the semiconductor industry by listing the executive government.This is a typical example that not only directly leads to the economy in the Taiwan area, but also affects the global economy.

In this way, the world's water business trends in the world have attracted much attention in the world, as they may affect not only the lives of the people but also the international situation.

"Speaking of the world giant water company (water baron), there are Veolia, France, Suez, France, and Taem's Water in the UK, mainly in the country.The news that the company had set up hostile acquisition was flowing, and the water industry was greatly surprised. President French welcomed this, but the Minister of Economy of the country was monopolized by the water supply business.He has expressed his opposition to increase prices and decline services.

Until March 2021, it was dispute in the Paris Court for violating the antitrust law, but in early April 2021, the merger was reported, and the world's largest water company was born.In addition, infrastructure investment banks and investment funds in each country are aiming for the world's water market as a weapon. "

From the World War II to the 1960s, seven companies, which were collectively called international petroleum capital and were almost monopolized, had a major impact on the world economy.In 1995, the Deputy Governor of the World Bank warned that "if the war in the 20th century fought over oil, the 21st century would be a century for water."I can imagine the luck of the water business may invest a stone in the global economy.
