The Japanese business is searching for new
investment markets and considers Ukraine to be an attractive country for
launching investment projects aimed at supplying of products to the EU.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
Japan to Ukraine Shigeki Sumi said this at the briefing on Friday.
"We expect this agreement to contribute to
the economic development of Ukraine. The Japanese companies find business in
Ukraine very attractive, taking into account the geographical location on the
EU borders, high technological and educational standards, and large
market," the Ambassador said.
"The Japanese companies see greater
opportunity of investment in the fields aimed at the European Union market
rather than the domestic Ukrainian market," Sumi said, noting that the
main reason for such a position is the low labor cost in Ukraine and attractive
UAH/EUR exchange rate.
According to him, the largest investments have
been made in the tobacco and automobile industries as of now.
