 Japan is the world's second
largest economy after the U.S. Recently in response to
recessionary pressures, Japan has been slowly easing restrictions on
foreign business. The government has indicated a desire to rely
more on market forces and less on planning for economic growth.
All of this, bodes well for U.S. companies trying to market their
products in this crucial market. |
