The Public Investment Fund (PIF) inked five MoUs valued at a combined USD 51 bn with major<\/strong> Japanese lenders<\/strong>, in a bid to fuel capital flows between the two countries through debt and equity, according to a PIF statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The<\/strong> banks involved:<\/strong> Mizuho Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, MUFG Bank, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Nippon Export and Investment Ins. (NEXI). The specifics of the agreements were not disclosed. <\/p>\n

Priority sectors:<\/strong> \u201cThe MoUs are a key part of PIF\u2019s strategy to boost financial collaboration globally, enhancing cooperation in finance, investment and sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not the first time the PIF has looked to Asia this year: <\/strong>The sovereign wealth fund inked similar agreements with major Chinese banks last August<\/a>, signing six MoUs worth up to USD 50 bn also intended for two-way capital flows and focused on the same sectors.<\/p>\n
