A weak yen is boosting Japan’s tourism and export sectors, but are ongoing economic reforms enough to attract investors? At an Invest Japan Symposium, jointly organized by HKGCC and JETRO, the consensus was a resounding yes. Falling costs, a weak yen, and an attractive domestic market started to lift FDI levels in Japan in 2014, with FDI surging 285% to reach US$9 billion. Signs are even more encouraging for the future, with almost US$3 billion in FDI flowing into Japan in the first quarter of this year.
