  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Japanese Capital in Central Europe
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Economics 33 (1992) 149-168. C The Hitotsubashi Academy JAPANESE CAPITAL IN CENTRAL EUROPE GABOR BAKOS* Abstract From the 1 960's onward Japan's presence in Central Europe gradually increased. First foreign trade developed, then Japanese sogo shosha (general trading companies) established themselves, Japanese banks extended credits and, after the systemic changes in Central European countries of 1989, direct investments into the region showed a dra- matic increase. The real importance of Japanese investments is far greater than their statistical share owing to their modernizing effect. For Japanese business, Central Eu- rope is a strategic door to the huge markets of both the former Soviet Union and Western Europe. After recent privatization Central European countries have been seriously hoping for active Japanese participation but, due to their long decision-making processes, Japanese firms are being squeezed out by German and U.S, frms. I. The Process In this study, we will regard capital as it appears in three forms : commodities, finances and direct investments. In the literature generally only direct investments and partly finances are regarded. Nevertheless, the inclusion of commodities should not be neglected for two reasons. First, because trade flows also involve capital goods and secondly, developments in trading patterns allow for qualification of the cooperation between the partner countries. Japan's presence in Central Europe was rather insignificant before the 1970's and con- fined solely to foreign
