Orix Corp., Japan's biggest nonbank lender, is borrowing from the government as more loans to real estate companies turn bad and the cost of selling bonds rises.
"We'll use every means we can, as we are in the middle of the financial crisis," President Yukio Yanase said in an interview Wednesday. "Whether it's the Bank of Japan or the Development Bank of Japan, we'll use it."
The company has already borrowed from the Development Bank of Japan, he said.
