  • International investors are recognising the progress that Abenomics has made in turning around Japan’s recently moribund economy. The long-awaited acceleration in domestic demand is finally taking place, while business confidence is high. But can this progress be maintained while inflation and government finances remain weak and North Korea pushes the region towards conflict?
  • Although the dynamics of the basis swap can make the yen market a volatile source of funding for international borrowers, the arguments for accessing it are compelling.

A multinational panel of issuers in the global and Japanese capital market gathered to discuss the prospects for increased Japanese investor demand in this fast-expanding area.

  • Japan’s borrowers have been slow to board the SRI train. However, this is beginning to change, thanks to committed issuers such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Development Bank of Japan and the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
