In 2024, employee buyouts in Japan have surged, with listed companies offering buyouts to nearly 10,000 employees, a figure that is approximately three times higher than the previous year. This increase is largely attributed to weak earnings, prompting businesses to reduce their workforce. Concurrently, overseas companies have shown increased interest in acquiring Japanese businesses this year. Additionally, domestic companies have made record investments in their own shares, purchasing ¥6 trillion ($38.8 billion) as of November 8, surpassing the ¥4.9 trillion in 2023. This trend indicates a significant shift in the corporate landscape in Japan, with companies taking proactive measures in response to economic pressures.
