TOKYO - Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Tuesday that Japanese retail giant Seven & i Holdings' new status as a company"core" to national security would not raise additional hurdles to a potential buyout.
When a company is categorised as core, foreign entities seeking to buy a stake of 1% or more in a Japanese firm must in principle file for a national security review with the Japanese government prior to the purchase.
