AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Semiconductor Push: Rapidus signed an MoU with Italy’s Fondazione Chips-IT to speed up next-gen circuit development, building on Japan-Italy tech cooperation and adding to Rapidus’ European partnerships. Visa & Mobility Costs: Japan will raise visa and residency-related fees starting July 1, with entry visa charges jumping fivefold—aimed at covering higher admin costs after nearly 48 years without major changes. Tax Policy: PM Sanae Takaichi said Japan will restore the consumption tax rate to 8% after a planned two-year cut on food, as fiscal pressure and inflation concerns shape the debate. FX Watch: The yen stays under pressure near multi-decade lows, with markets focused on Japan’s readiness to act against speculative currency moves. Energy & Trade Risk: Strait of Hormuz traffic reportedly fell sharply after Iran said it closed the waterway again, underscoring how chokepoints can quickly ripple into oil and regional business costs. Markets & Strategy: Japan’s Nikkei pushed past 72,000 on AI-led optimism, while the government is preparing a roughly $2.3T public-private investment target by 2040 across AI, chips and other strategic sectors. Corporate Finance Trend: Japan’s national business corporate pension fund plans a 1% crypto allocation in FY2026, signaling a cautious shift in how institutions hedge currency and market risks.
