The Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) has published reports from “Various Surveys on Financial and Asset Management Special Zones” and related “Proposed Promotion Strategies for Financial and Asset Management Special Zones”, based on work it commissioned to FGS Global Co., Ltd. The work is intended to support efforts to attract overseas asset management companies and other firms without an existing base in Japan to the Special Financial and Asset Management Zones. The survey gathered insights from overseas investors and analysed promotion approaches used by overseas financial centres, with a focus on identifying methods to promote market entry into the zones. The FSA indicated it is considering effective promotion strategies and information dissemination strategies based on the survey and analysis.
