Banks in Japan will also benefit from a decline in the ability of U.S. and European peers to provide loans to overseas firms, Okauchi said. Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho each lent about 40 billion yen to India's Tata Motors Ltd. to help fund its purchase of Ford Motor Co.'s Jaguar and Land Rover brands in March. Sumitomo Mitsui arranged a 50 billion yen syndicated loan for International Business Machines Corp., the bank said this month.

``It is getting more and more difficult for the non-Japanese financial institutions to provide enough money to their customers, so somebody must fill that gap,'' said Okauchi, who is also a director of the group company.
