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.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENS: US$2,500,000.00 / DA TERMS.

 

                                               

HIGHLIGHTS

           

This an old-established trading firm of Swiss origin dating back to 1865 when the firm of Siber & Brennwald entered the raw silk trade in Yokohama.  The firm built Japan’s first gas plants for the first gas light in Yokohama & Ginza, Tokyo.  Also, began importing watches and machinery from Switz.  The firm was formally incorporated as Siebel Hegner Japan KK in 1965 to commemorate its 100th anniversary in Japan.  Renamed as captioned in Apr 2009.  The firm has since developed into a general trading house with handling items expanded, ranging from industrial chemicals, industrial machinery to watches, textiles, healthcare and other consumer goods.  The firm has three main divisions: Luxury & Life Style, Performance Materials and Technology (details see OPERATION). 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Dec/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 34,522 million, a 16% up from Yen 29,695 million in the previous term.  This is largely attributed to the high demand for construction and industrial materials including price hikes of some of the materials.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 3,029 million and the net profit at Yen 1,712 million, respectively, compared with Yen 11,903 million recurring profit and Yen 1,036 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 13,200 million and the net profit at Yen 1,800 million, respectively, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 30,200 million.  Business is seen steadily expanding.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
