このような貸出し急増の背景には、国内における旺盛な投資需要があった一方で、①地方政府による商業銀行への大型プロジェクトや地元企業に対する融資拡大の強要、②2003年３月に設立された銀行監督管理委員会の全国的組織体制構築に時間を要したことによる銀行監督行政の空白、③不良債権処理の加速を喫緊の課題として課されている国有商業銀行による不良債権比率低下を意図した貸出残高（分母）の拡大等の銀行側の理由等があると考えられる42。例文帳に追加

Behind this rapid growth of lending is robust domestic demand for investment, but also at the same time it is thought that there are bank-side reasons, such as: (i) the imposition on commercial banks by regional governments of expansion in loans for large-scale projects and local enterprises; (ii) the vacuum of bank supervision administration due to the time needed to set up the nationwide organizational structure of the China Banking Regulatory Commission that was established in March 2003; and (iii) the expansion of outstanding loans (denominator) in order to lower the proportion of non-performing loans by state-owned commercial banks that have to deal with the acceleration of bad loan workout as a pressing issue.42 - 経済産業省

また、金融危機の影響により企業の資金調達が困難となったことに加え、資源価格の大幅な下落を受け、世界の資源開発事業の勢いが鈍化（プロジェクトの減産・延期・中止）した。 一方、日系の商社や資源関連企業等の中に、相対的に資金余力があったことや円高による購買力の上昇を背景に、金融危機後も積極的に権益獲得に乗り出し、資源問題に貢献している事例も見られる（第2-2-4-10表）。例文帳に追加

Meanwhile, there are some cases where Japanese-owned trading companies and resource-related business companies have positively strived to capture rights and interests in natural resource development even after the financial crisis, by taking advantage of their comparative affluence in funds and increase of purchasing power backed by the strong yen, and have made contributions to solving natural resource issues (Figure 2-2-4-10). The impacts of the financial crisis have made it difficult for companies to raise funds, and what is worse, a material decline in natural resource prices curbed the momentum for the world’s natural resource development projects (production reductions, suspensions and discontinuances related to the projects). - 経済産業省

消費者における環境意識が高まり、環境関連の規制が強化されてきていることに加え、大企業を中心に、燃料電池等の新たな技術開発プロジェクトが活発化していることや、環境負荷が小さい部品・資材を優先的に調達する「グリーン調達」10が広がっていること等を背景に、中小企業は環境に配慮した様々な製品・サービスの開発に積極的に取り組んでいると考えられる。例文帳に追加

In addition to increases in environmental awareness among consumers and the strengthening of environmental regulations, many companies, especially large enterprises, actively try to develop new technology such as fuel cells, while “green procurement,”10) which prioritizes the procurement of parts and materials with a small environmental impact, is also expanding. As a result, SMEs are also thought to be actively working to develop various environmentally friendly products and services. - 経済産業省
