Mobilizing Stronger Capital Flows from Japan to Asia: Mitsuhiro Furusawa, President, Institute for Global Financial Affairs, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation | 日本からアジアへ、動き出した資本の流れ: 株式会社三井住友銀行 国際金融研究所 理事長 古澤満宏
About this session
There is tremendous, untapped potential for mobilizing the huge pool of Japanese savings for investments that can promote development in Asian economies, especially in South and Southeast Asia. The flow of capital from where it is most abundant to where it can have the most impact and achieve better returns, is a win-win combination. This keynote explores how institutional capital from Japan is being redirected toward high-growth startups, financial institutions, financial infrastructure and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
日本には、アジア、とりわけ南アジアおよび東南アジアの発展を後押しする投資に振り向けることができる、膨大な資金余力があります。その資金は、さらに大きな価値を生み出す可能性を秘めています。資本が豊富な場所から、より大きなインパクトと高いリターンが見込める地域へと資金を振り向けることは、双方にとって利益となる取り組みです。
本セッションでは、日本の機関投資家の資本が、高成長スタートアップや金融機関、金融インフラ、起業エコシステムへと向かい始めている実態を明らかにします。
