日本：官民基金JIC拟将半导体材料商JSR售予三井化学 交易规模或超1.3万亿日元
两名知情人士11月4日对路透社表示，日本政府背景的投资基金产业革新投资机构（JIC）计划把半导体材料制造商 JSR 出售给三井化学，交易规模可能超过1.3万亿日元（约82亿美元）。其中一名知情人士说，最快可能在本月内作出决定；两人均因信息未公开而要求匿名。JIC、JSR 与三井化学均未回复置评请求。
JIC 隶属日本经济产业省监督体系，2018年设立，宗旨是投资企业以提升日本产业竞争力。路透社此前曾报道 JIC 正考虑出售 JSR，此次是首次报道最终买家为三井化学。
这笔交易将重塑日本半导体供应链：JSR 是光刻胶等芯片制造关键材料的供应商，日本政府正寻求提升本国半导体产业的竞争力。市场参与者同时认为，如此大规模的收购对三井化学而言在财务上是不小的消化考验。

Japan: State-Backed Fund JIC Plans to Sell Chip Materials Maker JSR to Mitsui Chemicals in Deal That Could Exceed 1.3 Trillion Yen
Japan Investment Corporation (JIC), a state-backed fund, plans to sell chipmaking materials maker JSR to Mitsui Chemicals in a deal that could exceed 1.3 trillion yen (US$8.2 billion), two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on November 4. A decision could come as soon as within the month, one of the people said; both declined to be identified as the information is not public. JIC, JSR and Mitsui Chemicals did not reply to requests for comment.
JIC, which is overseen by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, was set up in 2018 to invest in companies with the goal of boosting Japan's competitiveness. Reuters had previously reported that JIC was considering selling JSR; this is the first report naming Mitsui Chemicals as the final buyer.
A deal would reshape Japan's chip supply chain, as JSR supplies photoresists and other materials critical to semiconductor manufacturing and the government seeks to improve the competitiveness of its chip industry. Market participants, however, see the acquisition as a large one for Mitsui Chemicals to digest financially.
