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 an 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. Scarce in many natural resources,
Japan has long been dependent on imported raw materials. Since the complete
shutdown of Japan’s nuclear reactors after the earthquake and tsunami disaster
in 2011, Japan's industrial sector has become even more dependent than it was
previously on imported fossil 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
impressive - 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 aftereffects 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. 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 of that year disrupted
manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the four years since the
disaster, although reconstruction in the affected Tohoku region has lagged, in
part due to a shortage of labor in the construction sector. Japan enjoyed a
sharp uptick in growth in 2013 on the basis of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s
“Three Arrows” economic revitalization agenda - dubbed “Abenomics” - of
monetary easing, “flexible” fiscal policy, and structural reform. Abe’s
government has replaced the preceding administration’s plan to phase out nuclear
power with a new policy of seeking to restart nuclear power plants that meet
strict new safety standards, and emphasizing nuclear energy’s importance as a
base-load electricity source. Japan joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
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 first-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place
India, which edged out Japan in 2012. While seeking to stimulate and reform the
economy, the government must also devise a strategy for reining in Japan's huge
government debt, which amounts to more than 230% of GDP. To help raise
government revenue, Japan adopted legislation in 2012 to gradually raise the
consumption tax rate to 10% by 2015, beginning with a hike from 5% to 8%
implemented in April 2014. That increase had a contractionary effect on GDP,
however, so PM Abe in late 2014 decided to postpone the final phase of the
increase until April 2017 to give the economy more time to recover. Led by the
Bank of Japan’s aggressive monetary easing, Japan is making progress in ending
deflation, but demographics - low birthrate and an aging, shrinking population
- pose major long-term challenges for the economy.

COMMENT: TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS. FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR TO GOOD AND RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.
The subject company was established as a trading division by Shiraishi Kogyo KK (see REGISTRATION), in order to export calcium carbonate, manufactured by the parent, for supply to rubber industries. The firm has since expanded handling items for supply to such industries as: rubber, plastics, sealants & adhesives, paper, paints & coatings, industrial textiles, food & pharmaceuticals, agriculture & stockbreeding, with recent expansion into optical lenses and cosmetic industries. Calcium carbonate & carbon black are the major items. Present executives are the founder’s descendants. Operations cover 58 countries worldwide through 11 overseas affiliates and group firms in China, Singapore, Thailand, India, other.
The sales volume for Mar/2015 fiscal term amounted to Yen 70,619 million, a 2% up from Yen 69,095 million in the previous term. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 943 million and the net profit at Yen 499 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,060 million recurring profit and Yen 561 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.
For the current term ending Mar 2016 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 950 million and the net profit at Yen 550 million, respectively, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 72,730 million. The weaker Yen will contribute to sales growth in Yen terms.
The financial situation is considered FAIR to GOOD and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.
