In an opinion piece, RSIS Adjunct Senior Fellow Tomoo Kikuchi discusses Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga plan to reinvent Tokyo as a global financial hub, by lowering tax rates and providing various administrative support in English to attract top foreign talent. “To help make this happen, Japan should contribute to meeting global demand and supply for capital through trading oil and gas in yen, as well as increasing yen-based loans to the Indo-Pacific, and inviting foreign companies to raise capital in Tokyo,” suggested Prof Kikuchi.
