Table 19. Direct Investment in Japan by Sector

Notes:

1. The above statistics do not include withdrawals (for example, the cancellation of the capital tieup between Caltex of the U.S. and Japan Oil etc. are not reflected in the figures).
   
2. Shares are shares with respect to manufacturing industry total in the case of manufacturing sectors and shares with respect to non-manufacturing industry total in the case of non-manufacturing sectors. Further, shares of manufacturing industry total and non-manufacturing industry total are shares with respect to total investment in Japan.
   
3. Shares do not agree due to rounding of fractions.
   
4. Figures for the first half of FY1996 were announced in yen, so have been converted to U.S. dollars by the average exchange rate during the period (US$=Yen 108.27) of International Financial Statistics, IMF.
   
5. The increase in the service industry is believed to be due to the increased investment in the software industry.
