Survey of 100 Japanese Companies on Economic Security

The Institute of Geoeconomics (IOG) conducted a survey on economic security among 100 Japanese companies, marking its third implementation succeeding the survey of 2021 by the Asia Pacific Initiative (API). The survey reveals cost increase and anxiety for future operations of Japanese firms due to Russia’s invasion in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, alongside their increased awareness of rising US-Chinese tensions and Taiwan Contingency. Struggling to find a balance between security and economic activities, Japanese firms have strengthened information security and supply chain resilience. We focus on what issues are at stake and how it is tackled by those firms by looking into details of the result.
