Trade - M&A - Tightening of rules and laws for foreign direct investment in sensitive sectors (Japan)

Japan amended its Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act in November 2019 to tighten notification thresholds for foreign direct investment, from 10 percent to 1 percent, in sectors designated as sensitive "core industries" for national security. Initially reported to cover around 400-500 listed companies, Tokyo continues to expand the list, which ranges from drugs and medical equipment to semiconductors.
