The beginning of the 21st century appeared to be a period when the Japanese foreign economic policy was changed and adapted to new conditions of international market in the context of globalization and growing level of international competition.

In the beginning of 2000s, the Japanese outward FDI grew signifcantly, especially in the South-East and East Asia.

The Fukushima-1 accident forced Japanese government to revise its energy security strategy and initiated diversifcation of energy suppliers. Among the main recipients of Japanese investment there are the USA, China and ASEAN nations.

Russia is a strategic supplier of energy resources for Japan and an important consumer market as well. In addition to the energy sector, the investments are growing into the Russian fnancial sectors, retail markets, vehicle manufacturing and pharmaceutical industry. The Russian Far East is the most attractive Russian region due to its territorial proximity and diverse natural and bio resources. Moreover, for Japanese investors Russia may be seen as a growing market with high level of consumption.
