As the yen rises, so does Toshiyuki Shiga’s blood pressure.
While Japan’s new government takes shape, with tackling the currency’s strength a key challenge, the chairman of Japan’s Automobile Manufacturers Association – and Nissan Motor Co.’s chief operating officer in his day job – is only too aware of the pain the yen’s climb to record levels is inflicting on the country’s car makers. And yet he knows full well that as the serving chief representative of Japan’s most influential auto industry group, he has to be measured in his comments even though he perceives a serious threat to Japan’s entire economy.
“I know I myself get so excited when I start talking about the yen,” Mr. Shiga said at a briefing on the yen’s strength this week, bringing some levity to an otherwise deadly serious discussion of the perils of foreign exchange.
The yen isn’t simply a threat to the auto industry’s ability to resist pressure to move production out of the country, Mr. Shiga said. A stronger yen undermines the price competitiveness of vehicles built in Japan overseas; if ultimately that accelerates the hollowing out of auto production, that would leave the jobs of roughly 10% of the country’s overall working population at risk, he said.
