In recent years, economic globalization has accelerated and emerging countries, including those in the Asian region, have achieved rapid economic growth. Given these conditions, many Japanese companies, including mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, are speeding up their overseas business deployment in order to capture the expanding overseas demand. At the same time, the need for funding in U.S. dollars is increasing.
-
Given these circumstances, JBIC will provide an adequate and rapid response to their financial needs for overseas business deployment by extending mid- and long-term funds in U.S. dollars through Hokuriku Bank which has a main business base and a wide range of business relationships with Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs in the Toyama Prefecture area and actively supports their overseas business deployment.
