The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC; Governor, CEO: Hiroshi Watanabe) today reported its operational results for FY2015.
A summary of the results is given below. See the Appendix for a detailed breakdown of the figures by regions and financial instruments and for trends of the past five years.

I. Overview

 ■ In FY2015, JBIC made overall commitments totaling JPY2.3974 trillion in loans, equity participations and guarantees, a decrease of 26.2% from the previous year.
 ■ Outstanding loans and equity participations amounted to JPY13.8439 trillion, while outstanding guarantees were JPY2.4647 trillion as of March 31, 2016. This brought the overall outstanding amount to JPY16.3086 trillion.
 

II. Operational Highlights

1. Efforts to Promote Overseas Development and Acquisition of Interests and Important Resources to Japan

  Securing stable long-term supplies of energy and mineral resources is a vital task that directly affects people’s lives in Japan, as a country heavily dependent on imports from overseas for most of its resources. Through the acquisition of upstream resource interests, diversification of supply sources, enhancement of fuel value chain, and strengthening of relationships with resource-rich countries, JBIC contributes to securing a stable long-term supply of resources. In FY2015, JBIC made a total of 12 commitments amounting to JPY489.2 billion in loans, equity participations and guarantees for projects and transactions in the resource sector as a whole.
  As examples, JBIC provided necessary support to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) in order for Japanese companies to secure steady imports of crude oil. JBIC also supported the Sakhalin-I Odoptu Field Stage-2 Development Project in Russia, as well as the offshore FPSO*1  project in Brazil, and financed shipping businesses of LNG tankers. Furthermore, JBIC financed a methanol and dimethyl ether production project in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and a titanium sponge production and sales business in Saudi Arabia, both of which are conducted by Japanese companies.

2. Efforts to Maintain and Strengthen International Competitiveness of Japanese Industries

   Amid increasingly intense international competition caused by economic globalization, JBIC supports Japanese companies to maintain and expand their overseas market acquisition strategies and supply chains by drawing on its various financial facilities and schemes. In such way, JBIC contributes to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries. In these areas, JBIC made a total of 282 commitments amounting to JPY1.8858 trillion in loans, equity participations, and guarantees in FY2015.

  In the power sector, JBIC provided loans for natural gas-fired power generation and desalination project in Qatar, as well as for an offshore wind power generation project in the Netherlands, both of which are invested in by Japanese companies. JBIC also supported Japanese companies to export thermal power generation facilities to the Bangladesh Power Development Board and PT PLN (Persero), a state-owned power company in Indonesia, and geothermal power generation equipment to an Icelandic national power company and a Turkish company.
  In the telecommunication sector, JBIC supported the export of a complete system needed for the optical submarine cable systems construction project, through providing an export loan for Banco de Desenvolvimento de Angola (BDA), the development bank of Angola.

  Furthermore, JBIC signed MOUs with four Mexican state governments and a Mexican financial institution, respectively, to support Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, who are clients of Japanese regional financial institutions, expand their businesses to Mexico by actively utilizing Japan desks established in the country. These MOUs enhance the ''Development and Strengthening of Support System by Financial Institutions for Small and Medium Enterprises’ Entry into Asia through Coordination among Japanese Regional Financial Institutions, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO),'' a joint press release issued by the Financial Services Agency, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in December 2010, and contribute to the Japanese government's ''drastic measures to enhance the comprehensive support system for the overseas development of mid-tier enterprises and SMEs'' as part of the ''Comprehensive TPP-related Policy Framework.''
