対日投資、事前審査強化へ 外国政府への情報流出防止―財務省
財務省は23日の関税・外国為替等審議会(財務相の諮問機関)で、海外企業の対日投資について国の事前審査を強化する方針を示した。情報流出を防ぐため、外国政府の情報収集に協力する可能性がある企業が原子力や武器製造、電力、鉄道などの指定業種企業に出資する場合、事前審査を義務付ける。財務省は意見公募を経て、今年春に外為法の政省令を改正する方針だ。(2025/01/23-19:28)

Japan to Tighten Screenings of Foreign Firms' Investment Plans
Japan plans to tighten its screenings of foreign companies' plans to make investment in the country, in order to address national security concerns, particularly regarding entities that may share information with foreign governments.
At Thursday's meeting of the council on customs and foreign exchange transactions, which advises the finance minister, the Finance Ministry presented the plan to strengthen the government's prior examinations of such investment plans.
To prevent important information from being taken abroad inappropriately, companies that may cooperate with foreign governments in collecting information will be required to undergo prior screenings if they invest in companies in designated industries such as nuclear power, weapons manufacturing, electric power and railways.
The ministry plans to revise government and ministerial ordinances related to the foreign exchange and foreign trade law in spring after soliciting public comments.
Japan requires foreign parties such as investors to report in advance if they acquire at least 1 pct of a company in a designated industry related to national security. The government can order a change or a halt to the investment if it finds a problem.
