Japan: Vibrant, Pioneering, Confident In the post-pandemic landscape of global business, Japan has emerged as the new darling of investors. Last year, the net flow of foreign money into Japanese stocks reached a decade-high of JPY 7.69 trillion, led by countries like the UK, which increased its average monthly investment by ten times, according to data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Fearing missing out, deep-pocketed US investors are now gearing up to make this year another record breaker – Bain Capital recently announced it intends to double its investment in Japan. Meanwhile, tech giants like AWS, Microsoft, and Google, as well as major semiconductor players like TSMC, are upping their investments and generating a constant stream of cash flowing into core industries.
