In an interview with Mr. Hiroshi Majima, President of Iwatani Corporation, the discussion delves into Japan's economic landscape, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges faced by the country. Despite the weak yen, Japanese companies like Iwatani are focusing on domestic expansion, particularly in emerging sectors like semiconductor fabrication. The interview highlights the Japanese government's support for foreign investment, especially in industries like semiconductors, indicating a positive outlook for expanding operations. The evolution of corporate governance in Japan towards a more investor-centric approach has attracted international investors, contributing to the bullish run in Japanese equities. However, challenges such as a labor shortage and high import costs persist, necessitating a focus on nuclear energy for clean hydrogen production and the formation of alliances with key countries for natural resources. Japan, known for its limited land mass, faces geographical challenges in expanding renewable energy sources like solar and wind. As a result, nuclear power is deemed crucial for Japan's energy mix, particularly for initiatives like clean hydrogen production. The interview underscores Japan's shifting perception towards nuclear energy and emphasizes strategic partnerships with countries like Australia, North America, Egypt, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia for hydrogen and ammonia production.
