Japan will seek $840 billion in foreign investment before 2030.

On June 2, Jin10 data reported that Japan plans to raise its target for foreign direct investment to 120 trillion yen (approximately 84 billion USD) by 2030, with the aim of attracting more overseas funds to help revitalize struggling regional economies and address labor shortages. According to a plan released by a group overseeing the matter on Monday, the government will increase the current target of 100 trillion yen by 20%. The plan also outlines a long-term goal of 150 trillion yen in foreign investment by the early 2030s. The updated target will be reflected in the government's upcoming fiscal and economic policy guidelines, which are set to be released later this month. In the face of demographic headwinds and regional industrial decline, Japan is increasingly seeking foreign investment to sustain economic growth, leading the government to revise its targets.
