English term or phrase: if useful, anywhere else
While such partnerships would probably be commonplace, if useful, anywhere else, they are seen as evidence of a sea-change in Japan. MTFG declined to take part in this feature, but industry analysts have been keeping a close eye on the sector’s progress. David Threadgold, senior vice-president and head of equity research at SwissRe in Tokyo, says: “Five years ago, MTFG would have been much more cautious of being seen to get too close to a consumer finance group for fear of reputational damage and creating the sense that it was unable to pursue such opportunities unaided. But this deal is a clear example that Japanese bank management teams have a new vision. They now feel able to seek strategic alliances that take them into new business areas.”

  -> For sure. But you cannot say, EVEN if useful, it would be commonplace somewhere else.

Explanation:
While anywhere else such partnerships would probably be (seen as) commonplace, if useful, in Japan they are seen as evidence of a sea-change.

'if useful' seems a bit odd here.

anywhere else = 在(任何)别的国家/地方
