Home > About JFM

Japan Finance Organization for Municipalities (JFM) is a public organization established with capital contributed by all local governments in Japan (prefectures, cities, towns, villages and special wards of Tokyo). JFM serves as “a joint fund-raising organization of local governments, by local governments, and for local governments.” In this role, JFM raises funds in the capital market, and then provides long-term loans at low interest rates to local governments.
