In terms of the shipping picture in Japan, 2015 will see the port of Nagoya leading the way with tonnage
growth of 3.0% and containers handled growing by 2.8%, both numbers significantly ahead of domestic
GDP. Among the other seaports, Tokyo will also fare well, with tonnage growth of 2.0% and box handling
up by 3.8%. The improvement will come despite a slight slowdown in foreign trade growth, to 4.1% in
2015 after an estimated 4.7% in the preceding year.
BMI is bearish on Japan's economic prospects in 2015, with aggressively below-consensus projections for
the economy. While some predict 3.0% GDP growth our forecast is for expansion of only 0.8%, down on an
estimated 0.9% in 2014. We attribute this disappointing outlook to the steep fall of the Yen versus the
currencies of Japan's main trading partners and the sales tax hike in April 2014. GDP fell quarter-on-quarter
(q-o-q) in Q214 and Q314, pushing the economy into technical recession. We continue to believe the
government's quantitative easing (QE) efforts are counter productive, boosting inflation but not lifting
purchasing power by consumers. Similarly, a weaker yen is good for exporters but not for domestic
purchasing power. The key problem is that real wages continue to decline.
