NEW YORK -- Top U.S. financial executives praised Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's financial reforms on Monday and urged his successor, whomever that will be, to continue the openness that helped shed Tokyo's long-held image of being unwelcoming to foreign investors.
"Japan is a must-own country today for investors," Joseph Bae, co-CEO of private equity firm KKR, said at a Bloomberg panel discussion on the country's financial future. "The key is the continuity of these reforms, the continuity of these policies."
