Article Abstract:

The yen's sharp decline in 1997 has forced many investors and companies to focus on Japan's merchandise trade surplus. A survey revealed that although some companies such as Honda Motor Co. have been successful in transferring their production abroad, other companies will be forced to cut labor dramatically. Based on a Jan report, yen's decline has resulted in falling trade surpluses between Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
