JAPAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self-sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2011 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2011. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan further into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake in March disrupted manufacturing. Electricity supplies remain tight because Japan has temporarily shut down almost all of its nuclear power plants after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors were crippled by the earthquake and resulting tsunami. Estimates of the direct costs of the damage - rebuilding homes, factories, and infrastructure - range from $235 billion to $310 billion, and GDP declined almost 0.5% in 2011. Prime Minister Yoshihiko NODA has proposed opening the agricultural and services sectors to greater foreign competition and boosting exports through membership in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks and by pursuing free-trade agreements with the EU and others, but debate continues on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy.

COMMENT    

 

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT & RECYCLING WORKS, WHOLLY OWNED

BY DOWA HOLDINGS CO LTD.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

           

HIGHLIGHTS

           

            The subject company was established originally in 1884 as Dowa Mining Ind.  In Oct 2006, established Dowa Holdings Co Ltd, a holding company of 5 group firms, and became its subsidiary.  This firm specializes in environment management, waste recycling and management.  Has three core business divisions: waste treatment, soil remediation, and resource recycling & management.  Operates 10 overseas offices: China (4), USA (2), Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia.  Clients include group firms and agent dealerships, nationwide

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

            The sales volume for Mar/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 43,114 million, an 11% up from Yen 38,691 million in the previous term.  This is largely attributed to the rising waste disposal/recycling works after the Great East Japan Earthquake that hit in March 2011.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,014 million and the net profit at Yen 719 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,205 million recurring profit and Yen 661 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

            For the current term ending Mar 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,100 million and the net profit at Yen 750 million, respectively, on a 9% rise in turnover, to Yen 47,000 million.   The environmental & recycling businesses will grow, boosted by recovery of waste-treatment services.  PCB trace & disposal works are rising.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 909.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
