America's bilateral trade and economic relationship with Japan continues to be heavily influenced by the divergent economic performances that have prevailed in the two nations for most of the past decade In 1999, strong consumption spurred by a robust U S economy, combined with a still halting economic recovery in Japan, helped generate a record одлпц U S trade deficit of $73 4 billion With U S export growth flat in 1999, the increase in the deficit mirrored the $9 billion rise in U S imports from Japan in 1999 American imports from Japan in 1999 were a record $131 billion As the worlds second largest economy, and the consumer of $57 billion in U S exports in 1999, Japan remains a huge market for American goods and services Significant opportunities continue to emerge for American firms, particularly as Japanese companies seek to become more competitive and begin to look beyond established domestic business relationships to lower cost foreign suppliers While the difficult work of restructuring necessitated by excessive debt and over-regulation continues, Japan is making progress With an economy that represents three-quarters of the Asian market, even in a slow or no growth situation, significant business opportunities exist and emerge on an ongoing basis The most competitive sectors for American companies remain in the high technology and service industries The computer, software, semiconductor, pollution control and medical device sectors continue to generate enormous business opportunities for U S firms On the telecommunications front, expanded Internet use and a proliferation of "dot-com" start-ups have created a dynamic business environment in a sector critical to Japans economic recovery A number of services industries also represent bright prospects for American firms In addition to travel and tourism, architecture, construction and engineering services, which have traditionally been a strength of U S firms in Japan, new service opportunities are emerging Financial and healthcare services are two areas where future business prospects for U S companies appear particularly promising.  Переводчик:ISBN 089499042X.
