1 (1) Outline of supply trend for final demand 1 supply trend 2. Supply trend and final demand The overall supply for final demand increased by 1.0% compared to the previous year, up for the fifth consecutive year. The outline was as follows: Overall industrial supply for consumption increased by 0.7% (id.), up for the ninth consecutive year, due to increases in both personal consumption and government consumption. Overall industrial supply for investment decreased by 1.2% (id.), down for the first time in four years, due to decreases in private housing and public investment, although private corporation facilities increased. Exports increased by 7.1% (id.), up for the sixth consecutive year, and imports also increased by 1.9% (id.), up for the ninth consecutive year. IT-related consumption increased by 1.1% (id.), up for the third consecutive year, and IT-related investment also increased by 1.7% (id.), up for the fifth consecutive year including a leveling-off period.

For details of revision of the base year to YR2000, and the definition of IT-related consumption and IT-related investment of the indices of all industrial supply, see Outline of the revision of the 2000 base Indices of All Industrial Supply on p.241 of the main text. 2. As the indices of all industrial supply are calculated using various statistical data, preliminary figures are used for some basic data. Therefore, you should note that the indices of the previous quarter have been corrected to the revised figures. 3. The ratios to the previous year are original indices, and others are based on seasonally adjusted indices. Source: The Indices of All Industries (Final demand components) (Estimated values)

2 2 Trend of IT-related consumption and investment Characteristics IT-related consumption for increased by 1.1% compared to the previous year, up for the third consecutive year. Non-IT-related consumption also increased by 0.7% (id.), up for the fifth consecutive year. IT-related investment for private corporation facilities increased by 1.7% (id.), up for the fifth consecutive year, including a leveling-off period. Non-IT-related investment also increased by 2.2%, up for the fifth consecutive quarter. Changes in IT-related Consumption Changes in IT-related Investment Index level (2000=; Seasonally adjusted) Index level (2000=; Seasonally adjusted) 115 Personal consumption IT-related consumption Non-IT-related consumption Private corporation facilities IT-related investment Non-IT-related investment Notes: 1. T-related consumption is consumption related to cellular telephones, personal handy-phone systems (PHS), personal computers, fixed telecommunications and mobile telecommunications that are supplied for personal consumption. 2. IT-related investments are investments related to communication wires and cables, power wires and optical fiber products for cables, digital and full color copying machines, key system telephone equipment, facsimile machines, electronic switching systems, digital transmission equipment, fixed communication equipment, personal handy-phone systems (PHS), basic exchange for mobile customer premises equipment, general purpose computers, mid-range computers, personal computers, external storage, input-output units, terminal equipment, software development and program creation (subcontracts) that are supplied to private corporation facilities.

3 Factors affecting personal consumption including weather Analysis Point 1 Precipitation (rainfall and snowfall) causes a significant decrease in consumption of clothing and footwear. Characteristics Precipitation of 1mm or more decreases consumption by nearly 300 yen per capita per day. Among the major ten items, clothing and footwear were affected most significantly by precipitation. Precipitation on holidays also has negative effects on transportation and communication. Table II-1-8 Results of Regression Analysis with Per-Capita Consumption Expenditure by Item as Dependent Variable Explanatory variables Number of days with precipitation of 1 mm or more Number of holidays with precipitation of 1 mm or more Number of weekdays with precipitation of 1 mm or more Dependent variable Coefficient (yen/day) t-value Coefficient (yen/day) t-value Coefficient (yen/day) t-value Consumption expenditure Food Housing Fuel, light and water charges Furniture and household utensils Clothing and footwear Medical care Transportation and communication Education Reading and recreation Other consumption expenditures Notes: 1. For regression formula, etc., see Notes for Table II-1-7 and 8 in the main text. 2. Per-capita consumption expenditure here refers to consumption expenditure of two-or-more-person households in ku-areas of Tokyo, Yokohama City, Nagoya City and Osaka City between January 2000 and December (excluding transfer expenditure (such as remittance to a family member); on a three-person household basis). 3. Shaded areas show absolute t-values exceeding 2. Source: Climatic Statistics (Japan Meteorological Agency), Family Income and Expenditure Survey (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications), National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) and Consumer Price Index (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Analysis Point 2 Weather affects consumption differently according to seasons. Characteristics Longer sunshine hours increase consumption expenditure between April and June but have the opposite impact between October and December. Weather affects consumption in a different manner according to the seasons. Between January and March, increases in the number of days with an average temperature of 5 or over and the number of days with precipitation of 1mm or more decrease consumption. Between April and June, higher maximum temperatures boost consumption, while an increase in the number of days with precipitation of 1mm or more decreases consumption. Between July and September, an increase in the number of days with a minimum temperature of lower than 25 decreases consumption. Between October and December, longer sunshine hours decrease consumption

4 Analysis Point 3 Past disposable income also affects consumption. Characteristics Personal consumption declined notably in the third quarter of. The Family Income and Expenditure Survey suggests that this decline may be partly attributable to a decrease in disposable income during the preceding period between December and June. Per-capita consumption expenditure (excluding transfer expenditure; monthly average between 2000 and ) was approximately 150,000 yen for one-person households and 86,000 yen for two-or-moreperson households. Therefore, determination of population rate by household size is very important in estimating personal consumption for the whole nation. Fig. II-1-14 Changes in (Nominal) Per-Capita Disposable Income of Two-or-More-Person Households Fig. II-1-16 Changes in (Nominal) Personal Consumption (=) Per-capita disposable income of worker's households Consumer price index (excluding imputed rent) (2000=) Notes: 1. Per-capita disposable income, consumer price index and total consumption expenditures are all seasonally adjusted using the X-12-ARIMA method. 2. The total consumption expenditure (based on the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (total households)) is obtained by multiplying per-capita consumption expenditure of total households by population. The total consumption expenditure (based on the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (one-person households + two-or-more-person households)) is obtained by multiplying per-capita consumption expenditure of one-person households and two-or-more-person households by population. Per-capita consumption expenditure does not include transfer expenditure. 3. Final consumption expenditure of households is a seasonally adjusted series of the final consumption of households (excluding imputed rent of owneroccupied dwellings) of the National Accounts.

Capital investment to cash flow ratio = Capital investment / Cash flow 2. Capital investment efficiency = Value added / Tangible fixed assets (excluding Construction account) (average of the beginning and end of the period) Value added = Net business profit (Business profit Interest costs, etc.) + Directors allowance + Workers wages + Welfare expenses + Interest costs, etc. + Asset rental fees + Tax and public imposition Source: Financial Statements Statistics of Corporations by Industry (Ministry of Finance) Conclusion The amount of Capital investment for the 14th cycle (overall industries) had been on an upward trend, but the period average growth rate after turned negative for both the manufacturing industry and non-manufacturing industry. The period average growth rate for all industries was minus 3.77%. Furthermore, the number of industries with negative period average growth rates has been increasing for both the manufacturing industry and non-manufacturing industry after. However, the machinery manufacturing industry and the iron and steel industry have maintained positive period average growth rates even after. In contrast, the transport industry and information and communications industry have seen negative growth. Situations vary by type of industry. Under such circumstances, the general machinery industry, electrical machinery industry and information and communication electronics equipment industry have been leading the entirety of capital investment, making steady capital investment, although in different manners. There is concern that the upsurge of oil prices and the appreciation of the yen might reduce corporate profits, but we hope steady capital investment will continue to be carried out

7 (2) Outline of export and import trends export and import trends Characteristics Looking at the trends of exports for (on a quantity basis), exports as a whole increased by 7.1% from the previous year, due to increases in exports of goods (the mining and manufacturing industry) by 7.3% (id.) and received services (the tertiary industry) by 6.6% (id).
