Foreword
The Alternative Investment Management Association Limited (“AIMA”) is delighted to present this pivotal document—a strategic roadmap designed to catapult Japan back into the limelight as a global financial powerhouse. Crafted in partnership with the AIMA’s Japan International Financial Centre Working Group (“Working Group”), this guide is a treasure trove of actionable insights and robust recommendations to empower the Government of Japan to secure its long-term economic vitality.
Japan has already made laudable strides in wooing foreign asset management firms through enticing financial incentives and sweeping policy reforms. However, reclaiming its coveted position as a global financial hub requires more—more openness, more dedication, and more decisive action from its government. The moment has arrived to take audacious steps, shatter structural barriers, and unlock lasting benefits for Japan's future.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this strategic roadmap. It's more than just a document; it's our community’s collective vision for reinvigorating Japan's role in the ever-changing landscape of global finance.
