US Under-Secretary Eugene Rostow told AAP that American balance of payments measures may affect Australia more than Japan because Australia has higher reliance on direct investment from the United States. He expected minimal impact in Japan, but noted Australia could feel the 65 percent cap on capital investment more acutely.
