TOKYO -- The chief executive of investment firm AllianceBernstein's Japan arm says the country has the potential to become Asia's top asset management center, fueled by corporate governance reforms and efforts to create a culture of investing.

Japan has been pushing to elevate its position as a global finance hub since capital and talent started leaving Hong Kong in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
