Converging tailwinds set stage for Japan's private markets to expand

Our first-ever Japan Private Capital Breakdown, available in English and Japanese, unpacks the state of PE and VC dealmaking in the world's third-largest economy, where private markets may be entering a period of high growth.

The largely stable PE dealmaking environment got a boost this year with the nearly $15 billion buyout of Toshiba. PE firms have also been snapping up smaller companies whose aging leaders often lack succession plans.

VC has experienced steady growth in recent years, thanks in part to support from the government and large domestic corporations.

At a macro level, foreign investors may be attracted by the weakening yen and low interest rates—which make deals cheaper—as they look for opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region outside of China.
