Explanation

It has been hard to grasp the realities of pure holding companies which have many other companies under their control and thereby seeming to affect economy significantly through their moves. In this regard, the Basic Plan Concerning the Development of Official Statistics (Cabinet decision, First stage of Basic Plan) stipulates that a survey be conducted to gain some insight into the current status of pure holding companies.

Based on all these, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry established The Survey of Pure Holding Companies in 2013 as general statistics in accordance with the Statistics Act. This survey aims to present a realistic picture of pure holding companies in Japan and gain fundamental data for various measures. It will also be made public to cater to the various needs of industrial and academic circles.
