Japan Weeks 2026 | International Financial Center Japan by FSA

Aiming to create a virtuous cycle of capital that supports economic growth and raises household incomes, the government has been advancing initiatives to promote Japan as a leading asset management center. These have included corporate governance reform, support for steady asset building by households, the enhancement of asset management services and the improvement of the capabilities of asset owners. […] The government has also been focusing efforts on communicating with domestic and overseas investors to advance these reforms in line with the needs of market participants and further improve the investment environment. Japan Weeks, a series of events that have been held since 2023 to widely promote the attractiveness of Japan’s financial and capital markets, has been expanding annually with the participation of foreign investors. This year, the week of Oct. 26 is planned as the core week.
