10:53 AM EST, 11/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Blackstone (BX) President Jonathan Gray said Japan's market for mergers and acquisitions will remain attractive to foreign investors, even as the government moves toward stricter screening, Nikkei Asia reported Friday.

"As long as it's not overly broad" and "rules of the road are laid out well, I don't see it as a major issue," Gray said in an interview on the sidelines of the Global Management Dialogue forum in Tokyo, according to the report.

Blackstone didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
