In the era of uncertainty, for instance, the emergence case of the coronavirus which has raised fears of economic impacts and others that are difficult to predict, research is constantly needed to strengthen the resilience of the national economy.

“Researches are needed to build up the strength and resilience national economic system of any problems, including threats that we have not met before. Ladies and gentlemen who graduate today should be able to take part in those efforts in the coming years," he explained.
