Manufacturing and Other Industries
Foreign direct investment by Japanese companies has been improving despite the slowdown caused by the global financial crisis in 2008. The value of export transactions has also been increasing. On the other hand, the international economic environment is constantly changing, influenced by intensifying global competition among companies, the economic trends of emerging countries as well as the economic policies of European countries and the U.S. Those factors also pose further challenges for Japanese companies' business activities in foreign countries.
JBIC will strive to help the Japanese industries to improve their global competitiveness and increase potential growth opportunities, by assisting Japanese companies in making foreign direct investment including M&A and exporting their products and services to overseas markets.
