However, since October 2008, the decline in production and exports has accelerated rapidly due to a steep drop in overseas demand and the yen’s appreciation.

Source: METI “Indices of Industrial Production” Year-on-year changes in the volume of automobile exports indicate that in prior recessions, the Japanese auto industry maintained and expanded export volumes through a shift in export destination regions. However, exports to almost all regions have declined since December 2008, suggesting that the current recession has caused a widespread reduction in demand compared with prior recessions.

(Comparison with prior recessions (iii) Response by companies) Comparison with production, shipments, and inventories of automobiles in prior recessions shows that the speed of production adjustments in the current recession is different from that seen in the recession that followed the collapse of the bubble economy (after February 1991), as Japanese automakers have been curbing a rise in inventories by quickly implementing production adjustments in response to a steep drop in demand.

Source: METI “Current Production Statistics Survey” and METI “Indices of Industrial Production” (Impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates) The trend in the exchange rates between the yen and other currencies including the U.S. dollar, the euro, and the South Korean won since 2000 shows that the yen has rapidly appreciated against the won in particular since September 2008. The won’s rapid depreciation was triggered by the withdrawal of funds from the South Korean financial market by foreign investors and continued against the background of South Korean companies’ moves to have dollar funds on hand as a result of the deterioration of the real economy.
