Transfer of government business - Kangyō haraisage

Japanese: 官業払下げ - かんぎょうはらいさげ

The Meiji government operated many government-run industries with the aim of enriching the country and strengthening the military and encouraging industry, but due to the large losses, it established the General Rules for Factory Transfer in 1880, and sold many factories and mines, except for military factories and public utilities, to political businessmen such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi for almost nothing. This became the basis for the later formation of the zaibatsu.

明治政府は富国強兵・殖産興業の観点から，多数の官営工業を経営したが，欠損の多いことを理由に1880年工場払下概則を定め，軍事工場・公益事業を除いた多くの工場・鉱山を三井・三菱などの政商に対して無償に近い額で払い下げた。これはのちの財閥形成の基礎となった。
