Join us at the APLMA - Japan Loan Conference
Japan
Market expectations are growing that the Bank of Japan could end its negative interest rate policy next year, in a move that would finally raise the cost of borrowing. Hear what loan market experts think about the potential implications of this and other key developments for banks and other lenders at our Japan Loan Market Conference.
The value of loans in Japan increased 3.1% year-on-year in August 2023, accelerating for the first time in three months and exceeding market expectations for a 2.8% growth. Outstanding loans held by the country's major, regional, and "shinkin" banks stood at 606 trillion yen. Major and regional banks were principal loan growth drivers, surging 3.5% and 3.4%, respectively, while "shinkin" banks added 0.8%. The APLMA Japan Loan Market Conference this year will be a perfect opportunity for leading bankers to discuss challenges and opportunities in the loan market in the year ahead. Participants will have the chance to meet and network with all corners of the market, from multinational corporations and SMEs, local and international banks, fintechs and alternative financiers, and more.
