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 leading mfr of construction machinery, including hydraulic power shovels.  Top-ranked in Asia including China.  Also produces semiconductor-making machines and other industrial machinery such as automobile-related presses, diesel power generators, and press brakes.  Aggressively involved in global operations, focusing on China, Europe & America, with 25 factories in 10 countries.  In the mining equipment business, the firm will strengthen marketing of labor-saving unmanned dump trucks to its loyal customers, so as to secure a profit source even in slumping market.  It will reorganize agency networks in North America in line with increasing rental demand.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,953,657 million, a 3.6% up from Yen 1,884,991 million in the previous term.  Sales of construction machinery fared well in Japan, and were on a recovery trend in China, due in part to the positive impact of the weaker Yen.   The recurring profit was posted at Yen 242,056 million and the net profit at Yen 159,518 million, respectively, compared with Yen 204,603 million recurring profit and Yen 126,321 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. . 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 237,000 million and the net profit at Yen 154,000 million, respectively, on a 3.8% down in turnover, to Yen 1,880,000 million.  Sales to mines are recovering slowly, and demand in North America will bottom out. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
