This paper examines the recent development of the Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC), and its relation to its trade structure with them. Although the relative importance of the trade-investment relations between Japan and CEEC is still very small, it should be noted that Japanese FDI there have been growing rapidly since the latter half of 1990s. Most of the Japanese FDI has been concentrated on 3 countries (3 CEEC): Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic as well as their trade values with Japan. In general, Japanese parent companies have established their affiliates. On the other hand, more than half of the Japanese affiliates in CEEC were established by Japanese affiliates in EU and the local companies, while the subsidiaries for manufacturing tend to be built by the Japanese parents. The pattern of the Japanese FDI in CEEC is similar to that in USA and EU in the 1970s. At first, the subsidiaries in the field of wholesale & retail trade were established for promoting Japanese exports of manufacture goods, especially machinery products, and then the local production followed by the FDI mainly in transport equipment and electric machinery.
