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.

What is Japan Weeks?

The Government of Japan is advancing its initiatives to establish Japan as an international financial center and promote Japan as a leading asset management center.
Since the first Japan Weeks was held in 2023, we have continued to showcase the attractiveness of Japan’s fiscal initiatives and financial and capital markets through a series of events that attract overseas investors and asset management firms.
In Fall 2026, we will host the fourth Japan Weeks. The core week of the event is from October 26 to October 30, accompanied by a variety of finance-focused events scheduled in the weeks before and after.
