In the online survey conducted by Japanese staffing firm Pasona Group Inc. last December, 57 percent of Japanese companies in Vietnam and 55 percent in India said they will expand operations in the host countries, compared with the average of 39 percent among all 11 countries and regions polled.
Of the 818 companies polled, 67 percent said they plan to keep the current level of their bases and operations in the 11 economies.
Twenty percent said they plan to add and strengthen functions of their bases as regional headquarters, partly due to difficulties in making business trips to and from head offices in Japan amid the coronavirus pandemic, the survey said.
