Strengthens the rules to exercise control of critical technologies and goods
01 Oct 2017
On 1 October 2017, changes to Japan’s rules on the review of inward foreign investment came into effect. The changes are based on a reconsideration of threats to national security, changes to the business environment and the spread of critical technologies, including dual-use technologies. The new rules: extend the review mechanism to acquisitions of non-listed companies, which were hitherto not covered by the rules, and introduce the post-investment administrative measures in case of breaches of the rules.
