The right conditions for enhanced EU-Japan business relationships

Manuel Hubert
Manuel Hubert

Allow me to speak candidly: the current global macroeconomic landscape may not be the most uplifting topic for a rainy autumn afternoon. However, there are reasons to look ahead with optimism. According to the Bank of Japan, the nation is on a gradual path to recovery, with a projected real GDP growth of 1.3% for fiscal year 2023. Similarly, in the European Union, the latest summer economic forecasts from the European Commission indicate a modest uptick in GDP growth, forecasting an increase of 0.8 percentage points for the calendar year 2023 and 1.4% for 2024. But beyond these economic figures, there is a brighter outlook on the horizon. The recent EU-Japan Summit held on 13 July underscored the strong alignment between Japan and the EU across various fronts. Both partners are united in their efforts to enhance the resilience and security of their respective economies. Key areas of agreement include the full implementation of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the acceleration of collaboration in digital transformation and critical raw materials supply chains, intensified efforts in the energy transition sector, and closer collaboration on joint investments in partner countries, particularly through connectivity projects. On the microeconomic front, from the perspective of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, there are even more compelling reasons for optimism. We have witnessed a continued eagerness among European companies, especially SMEs, to expand their footprint in Japan. The economic missions organized by the Centre have been highly successful, fostering significant interest and business connections. 

Japan undoubtedly presents a wealth of opportunities as a market. Japanese authorities and agencies offer various incentives to foreign companies prepared to invest in the country. The weakened yen also makes Japan an attractive destination for European investors. Lastly, the region's geopolitical stability solidifies Japan's reputation as one of the safest places to invest in Asia. At the EU-Japan Centre, our commitment remains unwavering in fostering collaboration between European and Japanese businesses through our diverse range of activities, all of which can be explored on our website. I also invite you to follow our Twitter and LinkedIn accounts to be timely informed. In conclusion, I extend my warmest wishes to the EU-Japan Business Round Table as they celebrate their 25th annual event this year. The meeting will take place on 7 November in Brussels. This milestone serves as a testament to the enduring and robust ties that bind Japan and the EU. Happy reading!
