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

           

The subject company was established originally in 2006 by Melrob Limited UK as its Japan marketing office, as Melrob Japan Ltd.  In 2007 merged a part of operations with Chemiplus Corp and renamed as captioned.  The merger was intended to streamline their operations into one entity: Melrob Japan was expert in industrial chemicals, while Chemiplus in fine chemicals.  In Oct 2011 the integration of the two was complete; and from 1st Oct 2011 the distribution activities of both companies traded as Melrob-Chemiplus Ltd.  In Oct 2012 merged a sister company, Melrobe Ltd.  Operations cover Europe, USA, China, Mid/Near East, other.

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Sept 2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 4,043 million, an 36% up from Yen 2,980 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the said merger and sales expanded.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 19 million and the net profit at Yen 11 million, respectively, compared with Yen 37 million recurring profit and Yen 16 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Sept 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 25 million and the net profit at Yen 15 million, respectively, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 4,250 million.
