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.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the pioneer in development of shrink-wrap labels.  Ranks top as specialist in the industry, with the 50%-plus market share.  Has production bases overseas.  Highly competitive in wrapping films for cup noodles and heat-resistant labels for hot beverage containers.  New product such as soft pouches expanding.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 121,015 million, a 22.3% up from Yen 98,947 million in the previous term.  Shrink label production was brought forward to occur ahead of the extremely hot summer.  Improved plant operating rates and distribution cost cuts provided synergic benefits, offsetting price cuts in Europe and the deficit in Asia.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 10,047 million and the net profit at Yen 5,410 million, respectively, compared with Yen 8,279 million recurring profit and Yen 5,179 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Jun/204 results): sales Yen 34,519 million (up 12.3%), operating profit Yen 3,191 million (up 7.2%), recurring profit Yen 3,345 million (up 4.3%), net profit Yen 2,155 million (up 2.1%).  (% as compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

 

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 10,100 million and the net profit at Yen 5,900 million, respectively, on a 6.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 129,000 million.  The Swiss firm will continue to improve.  The firm will broaden machinery services, targeting market expansion in Asia.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4,806.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
