 Japan investment in U.S. hits record

TOKYO -- Net foreign direct investment by Japan in the U.S. reached a record high of 11.73 trillion yen ($77.3 billion) last year as economic and geopolitical concerns chilled spending in China.
 
Japan's investment in the U.S. -- which has more than doubled over the past decade -- accounted for nearly 40% of its total global outward FDI on a net basis, while net FDI in China was roughly flat compared with 2023.
