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
31/03/2015 fiscal term
The subject company is an offshoot of Japan’s wealthiest merchant house of Edo era founded in 1600. Now ranked one of the largest general trading houses of Japan vying with Mitsubishi Corp for top position. Ranked 2nd in foodstuffs trade next to Mitsubishi Corp but 1st in chemicals. Nucleus firm of the Mitsui group. Handling items vary from metals & minerals, machinery, electronics & information, to chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, foods. Traditionally strong in field of heavy industries. Active in overseas business expansion such as oil/gas development in Russia and construction of large thermal power plant in Thailand. Strengthening partnership strategy with US Douglas, Unisys and other big firms. Stressing on natural resources, including LNG, and telecommunications sectors. The company will invest around Yen 66 billion in the general cargo transportation business of Brazil-based Vale, with the aim of expanding the infrastructure business. The copper mine in Chile will book Yen 14 billion in asset impairment due to swelling development costs. The company plans to adopt IFRS from the March 2015 term.
The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 11,165,660 million, an 11.1% up from Yen 10,049,637 million in the previous term. Main profit-earner iron ore production volume expanded, and price cuts were limited. The energy business was benefitted from steady growth of gas projects, including Sakhalin. The weaker Yen pushed up earnings at overseas subsidiaries, and net profit rebounded. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 453,732 million and the net profit at Yen 422,161 million, respectively, compared with Yen 314,098 million recurring profit and Yen 307,926 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.
For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is reportedly projected at Yen 470,000 million and the net profit at Yen 435,000 million, respectively, on a 2.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 11,450,000. Increased production of iron ore and energy will drive sales growth.
The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
