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 Dec/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,479,788 million, a 2.2% down from Yen 3,557,433 million in the previous term.  During the term US continued to enjoy a relatively solid economy, but Europe economy struggled in the face of financial instability and clouds began to appear over growth in China and other emerging nations.  The Japanese economy realized moderate expansion driven by internal demand, but the rate of growth slowed somewhat in the second half of the year.  Japanese Yen’s appreciation remained at a historically high level.  Sales of SRL cameras made a strong recovery.  Multifunction printers also rebounded.  But delays in the sales of LBPs and costs on changes in parts supplies after the Thailand floods were greater than anticipated.  By Divisions; Office Div down 8.4% to Yen 1,757,600 million; Imaging System Div up 7.2% to Yen 1,406,000 million; Industrial Equipment Div down 3.1% to Yen 407,800 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 342,557 million and the net profit at Yen 224,564 million, respectively, compared with Yen 374,524 million recurring profit and Yen 248,630 million net profit, respectively, a year ago..

 

(Jan/Jun/2013 results): Sales Yen 1,783,533 million (up 3.2%), operating profit Yen 153,127 million (down 12.6%), recurring profit Yen 159,123 million (down 10.7%), net profit Yen 107,409 million (down 5.2%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago). 

 

For the current term ending Dec 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 390,000 million and the net profit at 260,000 million, respectively, on a 10.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,850,000 million.  LBP business is faring well.  Te weaker Yen is also having a favorable impact, with foreign exchange rate assumed at Yen 95 per dollar and Yen 125 per euro.  But sales of compact digital cameras are falling sharply.  Sales of main profit-earner SLR cameras are also slowing in Europe and China, and sales growth rate is decreasing.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR TO GOOD (even to EXCELLENT) and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimate at Yen 106,178.7 million, 30 days normal terms.
