Utility company BG Group had signed an agreement with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) aimed at supporting the long-term supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan and creating opportunities for Japanese companies to participate in energy projects around the world.
Under the cooperation agreement the British company will liaise with JBIC, a policy-based financial institution wholly owned by the Japanese government, on BG Group's natural gas developments and JBIC will consider providing financial support for these projects.
The relationship is expected to help ensure Japan receives stable supplies of natural gas in the form of LNG and create opportunities for Japanese companies to participate in BG Group projects.
