This document discusses Japan's promotion of foreign direct investment (FDI). It notes the risks of an aging population and industrial hollowing out, and how FDI can help address these issues through innovation. Specific measures to promote FDI discussed include tax incentives, improving the business environment, and establishing Asian headquarters in Japan. The importance of FDI to Japan's economy has increased over time from contributing little in the 1980s to now being key for survival given current challenges.

19. 1 Until the 1980’s, FDI had contributed very little to Japan’s
economic growth. The strength of Japanese economy came
from its homogeneity in the expanding global market.
2 From 1990’s until March 11,2011, FDI has been considered
invaluable to Japan’s economic growth, since the growth
pattern depending upon the homogeneity came to an end.
It was agreed upon that a diversity would encourage
innovation and compliment a population growth.
3 Now, FDI is considered to be a key for Japan to survive in the
World under an increasing risk of industrial hollow-ing-out due
to an energy crisis brought about by post-Fukushima nuclear
crisis.
