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 small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. 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. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan 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 and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 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 2012. The new government will continue a longstanding debate 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

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 624,637 million, a 12.1% up from Yen 556,966 million in the previous term.  Order backlog recorded an all-time high (Yen 1.4 trillion at the term’s start) on the buildup of  large-scale works, such as LNG project in Australia.  The execution of large-scale continuous projects, including gas treatment works in Mideast and LNG facilities in S/E Asia, made progress.  New projects also made a contribution.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 72,489 million and the net profit at Yen 46,179 million, respectively, compared with Yen 72,550 million recurring profit and Yen 39,111 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Sept/2013 results): Sales Yen 624,637 million (up 12.1%), operating profit Yen 64,123 million (down 4.4%), recurring profit Yen 72,489 million (down 0.1%), net profit Yen 46,179 million (up 18.1%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago). 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 74,000 million and the net profit at Yen 47,000 million, respectively, on a 10.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 690,000 million.  The term’s-start order backlog recorded an all-time high of Yen 1.5 trillion.  Multiple large-scale works, including projects for upstream treatment of natural gas, LNG facilities and petroleum refining plants, have been under way in S/E Asia.  Ultra-large scale Ichthys LNG project in Australia started a full-scale profit contribution, playing a leading role in boosting profit showings.  New orders are projected at Yen 650 billion, up 9% over the preceding term.. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR to GOOD and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.
