Exclusive: Japan to further ease rules on foreign ownership of stocks - sources

TOKYO: Japan will add exemptions to new foreign investment restrictions for companies exposed to sensitive national security issues, government sources said, in a move aimed at keeping overseas capital in the country.

The government has already set several exemptions, such as allowing financial institutions to invest without pre-screening, and other investors when buying stocks that are not among the 12 areas if they meet certain criteria such as not being given access to some sensitive information. The broader exemptions follow concerns from some foreign investors that tighter rules may make it difficult for them to invest in Japan.
