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.

Forecast
(or estimated) figures for 31/03/2014 fiscal term
This
is one of the leading general trading house, originated in Osaka as a textile
merchant, with its roots same as the present Itochu Corp, actually a breakaway
from the same roots. Strong in areas of
grain, machinery, industrial plants, chemicals & communications. Tops in pulps & paper. Well-experienced in domestic construction
operations, including housing. Also
maintains a strong presence in grain trading.
Recently strength being focused on information communications sector
entering satellite broadcasting thru CATV network. Developing & producing uranium at mine in
Kazakhstan, jointly with Tokyo Electric Power & others, having right to
obtain 2,000 tons/year with 60% equity share.
Acquired electric power holding company in Caribbean area at cost of
some Yen 70 billion. Tied up with
largest grain reserve operation group firm in China to expand local supply of
raw material soybeans and rapeseeds. In
China, making 30% capital participation in wastewater treatment plant
construction/operation firm in preparation for central government’s plan to
improve sewerages in urban areas. In
grain division, trying up with national oil extraction firm to take in surging
soybean demand in China. The firm
acquired Chile’s third largest private sector waterworks business jointly with
Innovation Network Corp of Japan. It
will further seek acquisitions in South America via the firm. Chile’s Esperanza Mine, where the firm has a
30% stake, started shipments in Jan 2011.
The firm acquired the third-largest grain firm in the US in Sept 2012 at
a cost of Yen 280 billion, making the company one of the world’s largest grain
traders.
The
sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 10,509,088 million, a
0.7% down from Yen 10,584,393 million in the previous term. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 247,543
million and the net profit at Yen 205,696 million, respectively, compared with
Yen 260,983 million recurring profit, and Yen 172,125 million net profit,
respectively, a year ago.
(Apr/Dec/2013
results): Sales Yen 9m783,308 million (up 26.1%), operating profits Yen 192,787
million (up 3.3%), recurring profits Yen 163,256 million (up 52.0%), net profit
Yen 300,051 million (up 95.2%). (%
compared with the corresponding period a year ago.)
For
the current term ending Mar 2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen
250,000 million and the net profit at Yen 210,000 million, respectively, on a
26.5% up in turnover, to Yen 13,500,000 million. The bought-out US grains firm is struggling
more than anticipated, and net profit contribution will fall to zero. But electric power IPP and automobile
financing businesses are growing. The
weaker than expected Yen is also pushing up overseas earnings, and net profit will approach a new high.
The
financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business
engagements.
