Japan Federation of Economic Organizations

Japanese: 経済団体連合会 - けいざいだんたいれんごうかい

Founded in 1946, Keidanren is a national organization made up of industry-specific economic organizations and large corporations. Its abbreviation is Keidanren. It was one of the four business organizations, along with the Japan Federation of Employers' Associations (Nikkeiren), the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nissho), and the Japan Association of Corporate Executives. Initially, it was made up of five organizations: the Japan Industrial Council, the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (later Nissho), the Japan Council of Trade Organizations, the National Council of Financial Organizations, and the Central Association of Commerce and Industry (later the Japan Federation of Small Business Associations). In 1952, when Nissho and the Japan Federation of Small Business Associations withdrew, it was reorganized into an industry-specific organization. It established a comprehensive task force and 30 standing committees and roundtables across various fields of the economy, as well as the Space Development Promotion Council and the Defense Production Committee, which strengthened communication between industries and summarized the opinions of the business community and submitted them to the government and the Diet, playing the role of the headquarters of the business community. It also cooperated with economic organizations in other countries to resolve international issues. In May 2002, it merged with the Nikkeiren to form the Japan Business Federation.

1946年に設立された，業種別経済団体と法人大企業によって構成された全国的総合組織。略称は経団連。日本経営者団体連盟（日経連），日本商工会議所（日商），経済同友会と並ぶ財界四団体の一つだった。当初は日本産業協議会，日本商工経済会（のちの日商），日本貿易団体協議会，全国金融団体協議会，商工組合中央会（のちの日本中小企業団体連盟）の 5団体で構成されていたが，1952年日商，日本中小企業団体連盟が脱退したのを機に業種別の総合団体に再編された。総合対策委員会をはじめ，経済の各分野にわたって 30の常設委員会，懇談会を設けたほか，宇宙開発推進会議，防衛生産委員会を置き，業界相互の連絡を緊密にするとともに，経済界の意見をまとめて政府，国会に具申するなど，財界の総本山的役割を果たした。また国際問題については各国の経済団体とも協力して解決にあたった。2002年5月に日経連と統合して日本経済団体連合会となった。
