Premium Friday

Feb 25, 2017 14:53
Yesterday was Premium Friday.

Premium Friday is a day for prompting personal consumption that was advocated by the Japanese government and financial circles.

Specifically, it is recommended that you finish your work at 3 p.m. on month-end Friday, and enjoy shopping or traveling from the evening.

In that day, many restaurants and travel agencies practiced various discount campaigns.

Yesterday, February 24, 2017 was the first enforcement day of Premium Friday, and it will be enforced once two months, six times a year.

As a side note, I participated in a meeting from 3 p.m yesterday -- I had nothing to do with that day at all.
プレミアムフライデー

昨日はプレミアムフライデーでした。

プレミアムフライデーは、日本政府と経済界が提唱する、新しい個人消費キャンペーンです。

具体的には、月末の金曜日には午後3時など早めに仕事を切り上げて、夕方から買い物や旅行を楽しんでもらうというものです。

この日、多くの飲食店や旅行会社がさまざまな割引キャンペーンを行いました。

昨日、2017年2月24日がプレミアムフライデーの初めての施行日で、これから2ヶ月に1回、1年に6回のペースで施行されます。

ちなみに昨日は15時から会議で、私には全く関係ありませんでした。

     I don't think they can "enforce" it (make people spend money), so I removed that word.
