Headline
The ups and downs of the yen do not alter this fundamental trend. As the Asian market grows—both because of its role as a supply chain and because of the growth of local consumer demand—Japanese companies will increasingly seek to produce in Asia.
Abstract
Richard analyzes the reason behind Japanese multinational companies' growing trend to produce in overseas countries, especially in Asia, despite the weakening yen.
