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. Since the complete shutdown of Japan’s nuclear reactors after the earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2011, Japan's industrial sector has become 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 four 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. A sales tax increase caused the economy to contract during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2014. The economy has largely recovered in the three years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven due to labor shortages. 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 2014 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 government will continue a longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which amounts to more than 240% 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 2015, although the government in 2014 decided to postpone the final phase of the increase until 2017 to give the economy time to recover from the 2014 increase. 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.

COMMENT    

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN TEXTILE MACHINERY, OWNED BY ITOCHU CORP

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a machinery export division separated from Itochu Corp, a leading general trading house, Tokyo (See REGISTRATION), as Itochu Texmac Corp.  In Apr 2008, merged a sister company, Itochu Plamac Corp, and renamed as captioned.  This is a trading firm for export, and partially import, of textile machinery & peripheral equipment in the main, hi-tic polymer processing machinery, including their parts & attachments.  Also offers installation, maintenance and engineering services.  Export destinations are China, Pakistan, Thailand, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Europe, USA, etc.  In Apr 2011, merged three sister firms to make them consolidated subsidiaries in order to streamline & strengthen business activities in the Asian markets.  Clients include major textile makers, apparel makers, other.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 23,301 million, a 57% up from Yen 14,875 million in the previous term.  Group firms were integrated and sales rose.  Export was robust into S/E Asian countries, particularly to India and Pakistan.  Business volume expanded.  Weaker Yen also contributed.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 470 million and the net at Yen 208 million, respectively, compared with Yen 256 million recurring profit and Yen 300 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2015 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 500 million and the net profit at Yen 300 million, respectively, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 24,600 million.  Final results are yet to be released.  The weaker Yen may have raised export revenues in Yen terms.

 

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