Investment

The low levels of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Japan reflect the challenges foreign investors have been facing when trying to expand their business and access the world third largest economy. However, the Japanese government has been gradually taking a series of economic and structural measures to reduce trade barriers and attract FDI into their country. New hopes arose with the re-election of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his economic agenda “Abenomics” as he promised to revive Japan’s economy and double the amount of FDI by 2020.
