Japan Bank for International Cooperation

The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is a Japanese state financial institution and export credit agency formed from the merger of the Japan Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund. JBIC's objective is to contribute to the economic and social growth of Japan and the world. JBIC provides loans, investments and guarantees across its operations, supplementing private-sector financial institutions.

The institution helps Japanese industries to maintain and improve their international competitiveness and supports the export of machinery, equipment, marine vessels and other infrastructure. JBIC also supports programs that focus on environmental conservation through GREEN (Global Action for Reconciling Economic Growth and Environmental Preservation). In collaboration with the International Finance Corporation, JBIC has developed a fund to recapitalize financial institutions in developing nations, thereby contributing to the stabilization of international finance.
