flag Japan plans $550B in U.S. investments by 2029, funded mainly by equity and loans, with minimal forex impact.

flag Japan’s top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said a $550 billion investment plan into U.S. sectors like semiconductors and energy will not significantly impact foreign exchange markets, according to government calculations. flag The investments, to be completed by January 2029, will be funded through equity, loans, and guarantees from state agencies, with possible use of foreign exchange reserves. flag The agreement, part of a broader trade deal, includes reduced U.S. tariffs on key Japanese goods. flag Akazawa noted the actual funding mix will be determined as projects begin, though past patterns suggest equity may account for only 1–2%. flag The announcement follows similar investment commitments by other nations, including South Korea.
