Economic Environment:
Government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defence allocation have helped Japan advance with extraordinary rapidity to the rank of second most powerful economy in the world.
Industries:
One of world’s leading producers of machinery, motor vehicles, steel, chemicals, textiles, and synthetic fiber. Leading exporter of high technology goods, including electrical and electronic appliances.
Infrastructure:
Fully developed physical infrastructure of roads, highways, railways, airports, harbours, warehouses and telecommunication. However, port practices remain non-transparent and inefficient by global standards. Import processing, while improving, remains relatively slow.
