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. Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has overturned his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, and structural reform. Japan joined the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations in 2013, a pact that would open Japan's economy to increased foreign competition and create new export opportunities for Japanese businesses. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2013 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 is exceeding 230% of GDP. To help raise government revenue and reduce public debt, Japan decided in 2013 to gradually increase the consumption tax to a total of 10% by the year 2015. Japan is making progress on ending deflation due to a weaker yen and higher energy costs, but reliance on exports to drive growth and an aging, shrinking population pose other major long-term challenges for the economy.

*Credit Opinion*

=============

The subject is a long-standing manufacturer of paper-making machines and related equipment together with engineering services.

 

The president introduces his company as follows:

Quote:

Meet future challenges as a global leader to supply high-tech machines with a vision for environment improvement

We aim to be a company that fully grasps and responds to the changing needs of the times.

To meet this goal, we have not only developed our own products, but have formed technology tie-ups with the world’s leading paper machine manufacturers, allowing us to continually strengthen our product lineup.

For the last 70 years we have been supplying the machinery required to cover every stage of the              papermaking process.  Starting with our wood chipper, we have gone on to develop and supply              equipment for raw material processing, papermaking and finishing. The Maruishi spirit is alive and well as we work to building the machines of the future.

Through establishing our own comprehensive lineup of machinery and by manufacturing products on a made-to-order basis, we have accumulated extensive expertise.  Our partners have been  a crucial aspect of this development, and as we celebrate our 70th anniversary, we would like to take the opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation to all of them once again.

In this town at the foot of Mt. Fuij, a World Cultural Heritage Site, Maruishi was born and raised. 

As a global engineering company, we will continue striving to build ever better machinery and  develop equipment with advanced technology which is friendly to both people and the environment.

 

President Makoto Ishikawa

Unquote:

 

Although the exact financial condition is not available due to strict control of financial information, there would be a certain amount of retained earnings.

The amount of the capital paid in looks rather small for its unit price of the machine manufactured by the subject.

The number of employees is estimated with some pictures shown in its website.

Judging from the length of business history and business partners worldwide, it would be advisable to establish a fairly good credit rating with the subject.

Negative factors are not observed in particular at present.
