About this data
Year-end stock of Japan's direct investment abroad by industry of the Japanese investor, all regions, since 2014, in 100 million yen. Figures follow the directional principle (investment by an affiliate in its parent is netted as disinvestment by the parent), so they differ from the balance-of-payments direct investment on the asset/liability principle. Industry sub-totals include confidential cells and 'other' industries, so the listed industries do not add up to them. Source: Bank of Japan.
