| The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has once again completed its comparative survey of investment-related costs, looking at 31 major cities and regions in Asia and Oceania. This is the twenty-first such survey issued by JETRO since it began the survey in 1995, and was done by JETRO’s overseas offices in cooperation with Japanese chambers of commerce and industry, local government agencies, and relevant companies in each country. As in previous years, the survey looks at wages, land prices, office rents, telecommunications expenses, utility rates, and other investment-related costs. |
