Despite several attempts to get the company back on its feet, financial and legal troubles kept piling up for the financial services provider. Over the past few weeks, everything has gone downhill for Credit Suisse, forcing Swiss authorities to intervene and negotiate a UBS takeover. <\/p>\n<p>Before signing a merger agreement with UBS, Credit Suisse was reported to have let go of the majority of its employees at its investment banking unit in Japan. Mr. Oishi admitted that these latest developments surrounding Credit Suisse will likely affect Nagasaki\u2019s IR plan but expressed commitment that the prefecture will do its best to get Japan\u2019s first integrated resort. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Nagasaki\u2019s IR project will be worth JPY438.3 billion (US$3.8 billion)<\/strong>, as per the financial details earlier released by the prefecture. The casino resort will be built at the site of the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.huistenbosch.co.jp\/about\/\">Huis Ten Bosch theme park<\/a> in Sasebo city. Nagasaki picked <strong>Casinos Austria International Japan Inc.<\/strong> as its commercial partner for the project which is slated to open in 2027. Nagasaki submitted its IR bid to the national government in April 2022.<\/p>\n<h2>Nagasaki Allocates $11.4M for IR Project in Draft 2023 Budget<\/h2>\n<p>The Nagasaki prefecture has earmarked nearly JPY1.52 billion ($11.4 million) for the IR project in its draft budget for the 2023 fiscal year. Of that amount, almost JPY427.7 million will go to the IR promotion division, covering monitoring costs, transportation infrastructure upgrades, and costs related to planning for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) business. <\/p>\n<p>A portion of the IR promotion division budget will also be used to shoulder costs for gambling addiction measures. Nagasaki has yet to release further details on the funding for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Nagasaki and Osaka are the only prefectures to submit an IR District Development Plan to Japan\u2019s central government. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/casinos\">casino<\/a> proposals are still being reviewed by the national authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary:
