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

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.
