Japan logs record trade gap in 2012 as exports struggle.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-logs-record-trade-gap-00563
Japan logged a record annual trade deficit in 2012 as exports continued to
slide in December in a worrying signal that the effects of a weaker yen and
the new government's moves to boost the economy with fiscal and monetary
stimulus have been slow in coming.
Sentiment among Japanese manufacturers improved for a second straight month
and is seen returning to a positive reading in the coming few months,
providing some evidence that the world's third-biggest economy is crawling
out of a mild recession.
But the record annual trade gap of 6.93 trillion yen ($78.27 billion) in
2012 and the seventh consecutive monthly drop in exports show that improved
sentiment has yet to translate into hard economic data.
Finance ministry data on Thursday showed that exports fell 5.8 percent in
the year to December, more than economists' consensus forecast of a 4.2
percent drop.
The second consecutive annual trade deficit recorded by a nation that for
decades had racked up hefty surpluses, helping to finance its ballooning
debt, underlines the need for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government to
strike a balance between economic growth and fiscal reform.
The 2011 shortfall was the first annual trade deficit since 1980, as exports
struggled and Japan's shift away from nuclear power after the March 2011
earthquake and tsunami, with its subsequent nuclear crisis, boosted fossil
fuel imports.
December data, however, are expected to be the low point and analysts expect
the economy to gradually regain momentum this year.
"When calculating month-on-month figures, seasonally adjusted export volume
actually increased a lot, suggesting that exports and the broader economy
bottomed out last November or December," said Tatsushi Shikano, senior
economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
TRADE DEFICITS
The batch of data comes as Abe has rolled out an economic stimulus package
and the yen has weakened in expectations of bold monetary easing by the Bank
of Japan.
The BOJ doubled its inflation target to 2 percent on Tuesday and made an
open-ended commitment to buy assets from next year after weeks of relentless
pressure from Abe for a greater push to lift the economy out of deflation.
Imports rose 1.9 percent, against a projected 1.5 percent increase,
resulting in a trade deficit of 641.5 billion yen compared with a forecast
deficit of 534.0 billion yen, and marking a sixth straight month of trade
deficits.
A Reuters monthly poll, also out on Thursday, which closely correlates with
the BOJ's tankan survey showed that the manufacturers' sentiment index rose
by a point to minus 17 in January, up 2 points from a three-year low
registered in November.
The index in the Reuters Tankan, derived by subtracting the percentage of
pessimistic responses from optimistic ones, is expected to jump to plus 1 in
April, meaning that optimists outnumber pessimists, according to the poll
of 400 firms, of which 266 responded in a January 8-21 survey.
Analysts expect exports and the broader economy will pick up gradually along
with the global recovery, helped by the yen's weakening due to the Bank of
Japan's continued monetary easing and Abe's expansionary budget policy.
Earlier this month, the cabinet approved $117 billion in extra spending in
the biggest stimulus since the global financial crisis, in a bid to pull the
world's third biggest economy out of its fourth recession since 2000.
In an encouraging signal for the export-reliant economy, manufacturing in
the United States and China - two major markets for Japanese shipments -
grew in December, suggesting the global economy was on course for moderate
growth this year. | R****a

灭绝日本人最关键的是摧毁日本的核电站，一定要用核冲击波弹，让核尘埃像蒲公英一
样到处飞，基本上覆盖日本全岛，一年后就可以见到忍者神龟了。hiahia
