Exporting and importing capital into real estate
Akihiko Mizuno, Regional Director, Head of Capital Markets

We continue to see various type of capital being deployed into Japanese real estate. While it is not easy to buy cheap and make a hefty return, Japan is attracting overseas investors who also want stability. On the other hand, given the recent sharp appreciation in Yen, property prices abroad have become cheaper and we are starting to see domestic investors showing more interest in exporting capital into overseas real estate.
