The two Asian giants, China e Japan, are Europe's main supporters. The Japanese Deputy Minister of Finance, Takehiko Nakao, assured the director of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), Klaus Regling, that Tokyo will continue to buy bonds from the bailout fund. This was stated by Regling himself on the sidelines of the meeting with the Japanese deputy minister.
The Asian country is the second largest donor, after China, of the European relief fund. Tokyo has already invested 2,68 billion euros since the beginning of the year, a value which corresponds to around 20% of the total loans issued by the EFSF.
