The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC; Governor: Akira Kondoh) today reported its operational results for FY2016.
A summary of the results is given below. See the Appendix for a detailed breakdown including the figures by regions and financial instruments and for trends of the past five years.

II. Operational Highlights

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

   Securing stable medium to long-term supplies of energy and mineral resources through increasing the self-development ratio is a vital task in Japan, as a country heavily dependent on imports from overseas for most of its resources. Through financially supporting 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 FY2016, JBIC made a total of 4 commitments amounting to JPY250.5 billion in loans, equity participations and guarantees for projects and transactions in the resource sector as a whole.
   As examples, JBIC provided necessary funds to the Tangguh LNG 3 project in Indonesia for additional development and production of gas fields, as well as expansion of existing gas liquefaction facilities. JBIC also financed the New Oilfield (Hail) development project in Abu Dhabi, and provided funds required for acquisition of interest in Morenci Copper Mine in the U.S.
