Among these structural reforms — the “third arrow” of Abenomics — the government introduced both a new corporate governance code and an investor stewardship code. These aimed to increase shareholder profitability and power while seeking to unravel much of the corporate cross-shareholding that had characterized Japan’s keiretsu system since the end of the Second World War.
