The United Kingdom and Japan have agreed on an investment package worth up to £18 billion, a move aimed at strengthening economic ties and boosting growth in the UK economy.
During talks in London, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced plans for major Japanese investments in British infrastructure, financial services, renewable energy, and advanced technology sectors.
According to the agreement, Japanese companies are expected to invest more than £9 billion in UK infrastructure and financial services projects, while a further £9 billion could be directed toward offshore wind developments. The investments are expected to create thousands of jobs and support long-term economic growth.
The two leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the joint Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), a next-generation fighter jet initiative involving the UK, Japan, and Italy. In addition, engineering giant Rolls-Royce will collaborate with Japan's Atomic Energy Agency on advanced nuclear technology research.
Japanese firms including Mitsubishi Estate, Mitsui Fudosan, and Nomura Real Estate are among those planning significant investments in UK real estate and infrastructure projects over the next five years.
The announcement comes as the UK seeks to stimulate economic growth amid global uncertainty. While the country recorded strong growth earlier this year, economists have warned that international tensions and slowing global demand could weigh on future performance.
Both governments described the agreement as a major step toward deepening economic cooperation, innovation, and investment between the two nations.
