As mentioned above, shifting factories to overseas is common practice. Overseas production of TVs exceeded domestic production in 1988, as did VTRs in 1994, quantity-wise.
|
| 6. |
Thus, de-industrization and price splashing by imported goods are continued due to the influx of imported goods.
|
| 7. |
As we mentioned above (see No.2), most of the import goods are mainly produced overseas by Japanese companies. However, parts such as semiconductors (mainly from U.S.A.) have been imported.
|
| 8. |
It is surmised that Japanese small and medium sized enterprises will expand their business overseas from now on.
|
| 9. |
Overseas production of necessary parts by small and medium enterprises will be further accelerated.
