Hong Kong activist Oasis urges foreign funds to vote proactively in Japan
TOKYO -- Japan is entering another busy season of annual general meetings, with a record number of shareholder proposals, including ones from Hong Kong-based activist investor Oasis Management.
Founder and chief investment officer Seth Fischer, in an online interview with Nikkei Asia on Thursday, said that he has seen changes in how Japanese investors vote against management. "I think domestic investors are far more proactive and understand that Japan has changed. They are more proactive towards their capital, are proactively running against management and are trying to drive higher returns."

Japan to Scrap Rice Crop Yield Index
News from Japan Jun 16, 2025 18:06 (JST) Tokyo, June 16 (Jiji Press)--The Japanese agriculture ministry on Monday announced the abolition of the rice crop yield index starting with this year's harvest. The step comes as rice farmers have complained that the country's current statistics do not match their firsthand experience of growing the staple. Some have claimed that the data are a factor behind the recent spike in rice prices. The government plans to continue to collect data on rice harvests while improving accuracy through the use of satellite data and artificial intelligence. "We will boost accuracy by utilizing the latest technology, and establish a new foundation for our country's agricultural policy," agriculture minister Shinjiro Koizumi said.

EDITORIAL: A plea to stop Washington sticking its nose in U.S. Steel
Nippon Steel Corp.'s move to acquire U.S. Steel finally got the seal of approval from the U.S. government after it intervened and set conditions. We give high marks to the partnership agreed to by private-sector companies of Japan and the United States. The U.S. government needs to respect Nippon Steel's autonomous management and not meddle in it. Prior to winning the presidential election last November, Donald Trump vowed to block the acquisition. But he has since toned down his attitude and said he would allow 'investment' by Nippon Steel. Still, he expressed qualms about the Japanese company's goal of making U.S. Steel a wholly owned subsidiary. Nippon Steel made its intentions known about 18 months ago. The plan to make U.S. Steel a subsidiary was approved with the signing of a presidential order just before the deadline that revised one signed by Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, to stop the acquisition. U.S. Steel is a noted corporation that at one time boasted the world's largest share of crude steel production. But it has fallen on hard times. Even if the U.S. government was trying to protect this symbol of U.S. industrialization from being controlled by foreign capital, the argument that an acquisition by a company from Japan, a U.S. ally, would create a risk in U.S. national security and in an important supply chain lacked logic. It was a mistake to try to push through protectionist policy. It is only right that the U.S. government did an about-face and allowed U.S. Steel to become a wholly owned subsidiary. As a condition for having its acquisition approved, Nippon Steel agreed to sign a national security agreement with the U.S. government. The U.S. side will have some influence over company management through the issuance of 'golden shares' to the U.S. government that grant it veto power over important management decisions. In addition to the 2 trillion yen ($13.8 billion) for the acquisition, Nippon Steel will also invest about 1.6 trillion yen on production facilities by 2028. The agreement appears to include wording on the composition of the U.S. Steel corporate board as well as production capacity in the United States. But using that agreement to flex its muscle will limit Nippon Steel's management freedom and perhaps thwart the rebuilding of U.S. Steel on the path to sustained growth. Concerns about the investment environment in the United States could lead other Japanese companies to take a more cautious stance about investing there. The interests of both Japan and the United States will not be served by such a development. Prior to approving the acquisition, Trump doubled the tariff rate on steel and aluminum to 50 percent. Trump seems to be trying to take credit for increased investment in the United States through his high tariff policy. But the acquisition plan was well under way before the increased tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Trying to claim that Nippon Steel's investment was the result of the tariff policy is a wishful boast. Trump also suddenly indicated that the 25-percent additional tariff on imported autos would be raised. That was a high-handed move that could deal a crippling blow to the Japanese economy. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Trump will soon meet for talks on the tariffs. Tokyo should not simply compromise just because the acquisition was approved but continue to seek a retraction of all the tariff measures. --The Asahi Shimbun, June 15

Basic Economic, Fiscal Policy: No Clear Strategy for Strengthening Economy
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Cabinet has compiled its first comprehensive growth strategy, but it is hard to see a path to strengthening the Japanese economy. The Cabinet should work out the details on concrete measures so that companies boost investment. The government has approved the Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform, also known as the 'big-boned policy,' at a Cabinet meeting. Besides placing wage increases at the core of the growth strategy, the policy has for the first time set a numerical target of 'establishing a trend where real wages rise at about 1%,' in addition to a goal of higher nominal wages. However, one cannot help but feel that something is lacking. As soon as discussions got down to the details, the only policies that stood out were those that were rehashed from the previous administration of former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The government listed measures such as expanding investment in decarbonization and digitalization and support for artificial intelligence, cutting-edge semiconductors and emerging companies, but there was little that was new. Japan is attempting to shift from a cost-cutting economy that sells inexpensive products by keeping labor costs down to a growth-oriented economy where wages and investment both rise. However, wage increases have not kept pace with inflation, and real wages have been in a long decline, since the spring of 2022, so there has been a failure to achieve stable growth. Growth strategies have yet to produce tangible results. Households continue to struggle with high prices, and there is no sign Japan will be able to shed its sense of stagnation. Strategies for driving investment are likely key to strengthening the economy. Japanese firms' reserves have grown to about ¥600 trillion, which should be more than enough for investing. In its basic policy, the government sets new targets for domestic investment by the public and private sectors, hoping to grow the total to ¥135 trillion in fiscal 2030 and ¥200 trillion in fiscal 2040. The global economy is undergoing a period of major change, and it is time to formulate investment strategies. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is moving ahead with protectionism through high tariffs, aiming to bring back manufacturing to the country, and this has put pressure on Japanese companies to rebuild their supply chains. How can Japan develop high-value-added factories in key industries such as the automotive and semiconductor and facilities such as data centers in a way that protects employment and leads to high growth? Close cooperation between the government and the private sector will be essential. In 2023, Japan's nominal gross domestic product fell behind Germany, making it the fourth largest economy in the world. Some predict that Japan will be overtaken by India in the not-so-distant future. The decline in national power has led to excessive weakening of the yen, reducing nominal GDP in dollar terms. The weak yen is also contributing to inflation, and causing the Japanese economy to stagnate. The nominal GDP is around ¥600 trillion at present, but the basic policy says that if the nation's economic growth continues to top 1% in real terms, 'a quadrillion-yen economy will come onto the horizon around 2040.' Unless the Ishiba administration revises its growth strategy, it will probably fail to achieve even this goal. (From The Yomiuri Shimbun, June 16, 2025)
