Japan-Australia M&A: Review And Trends (2017–2019).

Japanese direct investment into Australia has increased markedly in its scale and diversity in the last 10 years and is now second only to the United States. During 2017-2018, there were 68 Australian M&A deals involving Japanese companies.

29 Japanese companies entered the Australian market for the first time, attracted by a combination of Australia’s robust economic conditions and population growth (currently second in the G20).
