Why are Japanese Companies Investing in Australia? | AJBCC
Analysis of the reasons driving acquisitions by Japanese companies in Australia in 2019 reinforced the AJBCC’s findings from the data of the previous year. This indicated that the Japanese acquirers had:
- significant size
- many years of corporate history since establishment
- substantial overseas experience
However, there was one anticipated characteristic which is yet to materialize – this is the significant entry of “second tier” Japanese companies.
This AJBCC update for 2020 examines the data presented in the latest HSF report, drawing its findings from 30 Japanese companies that acquired Australian companies during 2019.
