Cette expression, littéralement «technologie de l'argent» ou «technologie financière», allie au japonais zai (finance) la contraction du mot anglais technology; elle est entrée dans le langage financier international depuis que les sociétés industrielles nippones, désolées de voir leurs profits s'amenuiser par suite du renchérissement du yen, ont tenté de les restaurer en jouant à la Bourse ou en spéculant sur les bons des Trésors japonais et américain. C'est une forme de gestion agressive qui, en d'autres lieux, serait tout simplement qualifiée de «spéculation financière». 1, record 1, French, - sp%C3%A9culation%20financi%C3%A8re

[a] Japanese high-tech finance involving the aggressive management of investments at home and abroad. 2, record 3, English, - zaitech
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Roughly defined, zaitech means the aggressive management of Japan's investments at home and abroad. Following the lead of American money managers, Japan's zaitech players seek out a maximum return, shifting quickly from one investment to another. Sometimes the practice takes the form of aggressive financial dealing - or, occasionally, outright speculation - in areas unrelated to a company's main line of business. 3, record 3, English, - zaitech
