Why Foreign Investors Are Seeing Opportunity in Japan
After decades of deflation and stagnation, Japan is embracing reform. With households and corporations sitting on trillions in cash, inflation has forced a shift in mindset. Corporate governance changes, rising equity participation, and the emergence of private credit are reshaping how Japanese companies finance growth. We examine whether the renaissance of Japan’s capital markets can power a long-awaited economic revival.

Bra Japan is that child with potential but is relaxed just getting 50% everytime
🟢 Hello from Bucharest, Romania – a big underrated city in Europe.
I've been hearing this for 25 years.
How can someone pronounce Nvidia incorrectly?
Was in Tokyo last month. Awesome people.
@0:00 Henkaku = Hentai + Seppuku. The essence of Oriental wisdom 🧘🏻
More BS bull from Bloomberg 😂 "Inflation is good"
Until last week my YouTube feed was full of finance channels screaming that Japan’s economy was about to collapse and that the next global financial crisis would come from Japan. One week later, they all did a 180 and now it’s “Japan is great again.” Finance commentary changes faster than the weather forecast
This is a very long commercial for Apollo, whose stock has been crashing for a year and whose CEO is praying he can survive his relationship with Epstein.
Nice information ❤
She(jp PM) "successfully" angered China, creating the perfect pretext for increasing military spending.
This, in turn, gave her the perfect excuse to accuse any Japanese who oppose military spending of being "unpatriotic."
China could also use the same pretext to drag Japan into a brutal arms race, ultimately leading to Japan's bankruptcy like the Soviet Union.
Japan is rising. CCP China is collapsing.
いつも通り傲慢な欧米という感じだね。
私は欧米を心底嫌いっているので、中国の覇権に協力するわ😂
ハードワーク、封建主義的、超官僚主義、外人には理解しがたい異様で異質な企業文化
企業はカルト教団そのもの
国自体が収容施設
絶対に移住してはならない
America decided they need to support japan failing currency and now going all out to pump their markets. Their mainstream media like bloomie and cnbc all have that mission, start lying and pumping japan up. Coz if Japan collapses, so will us stock market like a house of cards caused by the notoriously over leveraged Japan YEn Carry Trade. Welcome to the brand new narration, whereby japan's worsening than ever demographic problems and highest debt to gdp ratio in the world suddenly don't matter anymore. Japan is just a mere american lapdog puppet.
Over the last 5 years
S&P 500 up 81%
Nikkei up 96%
Unless they change their birth rate or immigration policies this has to be a joke.
Yes, cash is literally CASH (as in paper form notes) in Japan, many store still don't accept cards unless North America, most stores don't accept cash
Yay, 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵.
Yay, 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵!
Very sad to see Wall Street Week become a "marketing" tool, it is so obvious that this one is Apollo sponsored.
Rise of Chinese wealth is flooding to Japan in 2026
Softbank finally cashes out correctly at the right time this time from Nvidia, unlike WeWork
Now Japan finally has the money to put to work
The PE firms must be kept out of Japan at all costs as they only extract value from Japan, like they did in the US.
Japanese companies have the best balance sheets. That's why Warren Buffet sold out of US into Japan stocks.
How will the labor shortage be filled? Who are the workers that will carry the henkaku?
Everyone is cheering for a recovery, but they’re ignoring the AI structural wall. In the West, AI leverage creates efficiency through restructuring. In Japan, rigid labor laws make it nearly impossible to shed staff even when technology renders roles obsolete. Without the ability to reallocate human capital, Japan isn't 'recovering'—it's just automating around a stagnant, protected workforce."
Being Japan and under proper leader management styles can transform Japan into its best potential. Good for Japan good for the World.❤
