Trade Arabia14-04-2025
Aman, a hospitality leader, has announced the official name of its first luxury motor yacht as Amangati.
Following the announcement of Aman at Sea in 2021, the vessel is currently under construction by T Mariotti SpA in Genoa, Italy, and scheduled for launch in 2027.
Amangati means 'peaceful motion' in Sanskrit, symbolising forward movement, fluidity and the smooth flow of water. Designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, the vessel's name signifies progress toward a goal or enlightenment, echoing the elegant lines of the design, offering a nod to the effortlessness and flow that will define the onboard experience.
Set to redefine sea travel, Amangati will offer a floating sanctuary for those seeking the Aman way of life on water. Featuring just 47 spacious luxury suites, among the largest for a vessel of its 183 metres (600ft), each will feature its own private balcony. A one-of-a-kind experience, Amangati will be home to an array of best-in-class facilities including four international dining concepts, a Jazz Club, a spacious Aman Spa - complete with a Japanese garden - plus an expansive Beach Club, offering guests direct access to the water at the stern of the yacht.
Designed to be powered by a suite of green technologies, such as utilising battery power, to provide a more sustainable way of travel. This commitment to reducing the environmental footprint underscores Aman's dedication to caring for the land and seascapes it calls home and innovating at every opportunity.
"Naming Amangati marks a pivotal and inspiring milestone for Aman' said the group's Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin. 'The vessel will embody the very essence of our brand's DNA, providing exceptional privacy, best in class amenities, now synonymous with Aman, and our signature unparalleled service not yet experienced on the water. As construction progresses behind the scenes, our vision remains clear: to create a vessel that not only represents the highest standards of maritime engineering and design but that mirrors the tranquillity of our land-based sanctuaries."

Toyota Q1 Net Profit Plunges 37% After Trump Tariff Hit

Toyota Motor expects a 1.4 trillion yen ($9.5 billion) hit to operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026 due to higher U.S. import tariffs, according to Nikkei Asia. The automaker revised its net profit forecast downward by 14% to 2.6 trillion yen, citing the new 25% duty imposed on Japanese car imports in April by U.S. President Donald Trump. Previously, Toyota had only factored in the impact of tariffs for April and May—estimated at 180 billion yen. The company's net profit for the April–June quarter fell 36.9% year-on-year to ¥841 billion, reflecting both the stronger yen and the increased U.S. tariff rate. 'The [U.S. tariff] has risen to 15% from the previous 2.5%, which obviously has a significant impact,' said Takanori Azuma, Toyota's chief accounting officer. 'And it is a thing we are not able to control. The major challenge is to ensure that our North America business generates solid profits. The result [of a trade deal] remains tough.' Azuma added that Toyota is exploring countermeasures. 'If there is excess production capacity in the U.S., we will make use of it. … We want to refine our operations by considering every possible scenario.'

Japan Clarifies: No Defense Spending in New US Trade Deal

TDT | Manama Japan's top trade negotiator has clarified that the new trade agreement between Japan and the United States does not include any provisions related to defense spending or tariffs on steel and aluminum. Speaking to reporters in Washington on Wednesday, Ryosei Akazawa, Japan's envoy on tariffs, confirmed, 'The deal does not include anything on defense spending,' putting to rest speculation that military budgets might be part of the broader agreement. This follows earlier calls by U.S. President Donald Trump urging Japan to boost its defense spending. Akazawa also confirmed that US-imposed tariffs of 50 percent on Japanese steel and aluminum remain unchanged and were not addressed in the newly agreed trade deal. 'If you are asking whether the deal includes steel and aluminium, it does not,' he stated. Despite the exclusions, the announcement of the trade pact brought a boost to investor confidence. Japan's stock market surged in response, with the Nikkei 225 index jumping 3.18% to close at 41,040.66 yen. The broader Topix index also rose by 3.11%, finishing at 2,924.42 yen — gains led primarily by automotive stocks as the deal includes tariff reductions on vehicles and car parts. The agreement marks a step forward in trade relations between the two nations, focusing on economic cooperation without touching on more contentious defense or industrial issues.

Japan's Prime Minister Ishiba Expected to Step Down

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is reportedly preparing to resign by the end of August, according to several local media outlets. The news comes after his party suffered a major defeat in the recent upper house elections and shortly after finalizing a major trade deal with the United States. Sources say Mr. Ishiba has already informed close aides of his intention to step down, taking responsibility for the election results where his ruling coalition lost its majority. The Liberal Democratic Party leader has been facing increasing pressure from within his party to resign. According to Japan's Yomiuri newspaper, Mr. Ishiba told his inner circle on Tuesday that he would speak publicly about his future after wrapping up negotiations with the US. Both Mainichi and Sankei newspapers reported that his formal resignation announcement is likely to come next month, after key national events conclude. Adding to the timing of the news, US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday via his Truth Social platform that a 'massive' trade agreement had been reached with Japan. The deal reportedly includes $550 billion in Japanese investments into the US and a reduction in planned tariffs on Japanese goods from 25% to 15%. If Mr. Ishiba steps down as expected, Japan will soon be preparing for a leadership transition amid shifting political and economic priorities.
