[Press Release] Foreign Companies Aggressively Accelerate Their Arrivals and Expansion in Japan
Foreign direct investment into Japan during 2007 grew at a much faster pace than since the current statistical system was adopted in 1985, according to a projection by Ministry of Finance Japan. Its preliminary report shows foreign direct investment reaching 15 trillion yen through the end of September and well on track to achieving the government's goal of 5 per cent of GDP by 2010. Investments from the United States accounted for 57.3 per cent of the total, followed by the Cayman Islands, Singapore, Switzerland, and Germany.
