Overview
The Amendment of the Financial Instrument and Exchange Law (the Amendment) was enacted on 17 May 2011 and was publicly announced on 25 May 2011. One of the legislative purposes of the Amendment is to improve the opportunities for asset investments to better promote the effective use of the nation’s assets, including the deregulation of the asset liquidation or securitization practice.
More specifically, the Amendment also revised the Law Concerning the Liquidation of the Assets (the Asset Liquidation Law), to streamline certain procedures under the Asset Liquidation Law which impacts real estate investments in Japan.
Baker & McKenzie outlines the Amendment, especially the changes to the Asset Liquidation Law which simplifies real estate investments in Japan.
