Energy and Natural Resources
Global demand for energy resources such as crude oil and natural gas, and mineral resources such as iron, copper and rare metal continue to increase. Against this backdrop, major countries around the world are strengthening their resource strategies to ensure long-term stable supply of those natural resources. JBIC will contribute to securing stable energy supply which is essential for the sound development of the Japanese economy by encouraging Japanese companies to develop and acquire interests in overseas natural resources and import energy and mineral products from foreign countries.
