But if he makes a positive statement about the Olympics going ahead, we’d gain strong momentum.▦It's up to the U.S. I hate to say it, but (IOC President) Thomas Bach and the IOC are not the ones who are able to make the decision about the Games, he added. They don’t have that level of leadership.▦Biden hasn’t spoken publicly about the Olympics since becoming president last week.▦The United States brings the largest contingent of athletes to any Olympics and also provides the IOC with its most lucrative television deal.▦In response to Takahashi's comments, the IOC told the WSJ his comments are obsolete.▦It is regrettable that Mr. Takahashi does not know the facts, said the IOC statement.▦First: It is USOPC that decides about the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic team. Second: USOPC has never left a doubt about their participation▦The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee wrote on Twitter last week that they had not received any information suggesting the Games would not happen as planned.▦Takahashi, a former executive at the advertising agency Dentsu Inc, was paid $8.2 million by the committee that spearheaded Tokyo's bid for the 2020 Games, according to financial records reviewed by Reuters.

The unions are also responsible because they accept these conditions.▦Such groups say companies often intimidate employees, especially new hires, into working excessive hours to prove their worth.▦Japan's first white paper on karoshi released last month showed 22.7 percent of 1,743 companies surveyed had employees who in the past year worked more than 80 hours of overtime in a month, the government's threshold for karoshi.▦Takahashi clocked 105 hours of overtime in October 2015 and fell into depression the following month, a summary provided by her family's lawyer citing the government report showed.▦Japan officially recognizes two types of karoshi: death from cardiovascular illness linked to overwork, and suicide following work-related mental stress.▦In the fiscal year ended March 2015, there were 93 suicides and attempted suicides from overwork, down from 99 the previous fiscal year. The number of deaths from cardiovascular illness linked to overwork fell to 96 from 121.▦Labour Minister Yasuhisa Shiozaki last week told reporters that he wants to strengthen monitoring of companies' overtime practices and that his ministry would decide a punishment for Dentsu based on the results of its investigation.▦According to one person with knowledge of the agenda for Abe's panel, a new law placing legal limits on overtime hours could be considered.▦This would mean revising Article 36 to cap overtime to anywhere from 45 to 80 hours a month, said the person, who declined to be named because the plans are not final.▦Article 36 and other issues will be examined by Abe's panel on labor reform, which is expected to issue a plan next March.▦A HARD SLOG▦Labour groups and business lobby representatives involved in Abe's panel are likely to discuss whether the law will exempt certain industries from those limits.▦In Japan's strongly pro-employer economy, changes to overtime regulation, if they come, are unlikely to sail through unchallenged.▦Hard work and sacrifice have long been synonymous with Japan, one of Asia's earliest tiger economies, and strong social expectations make it difficult for employees and unions to aggressively push for reforms.▦Workers often feel a debt of gratitude for being hired, and are reluctant to quit even if conditions are bad. Others feel they have to work longer hours than their colleagues to get promoted.▦In recent years, the government has revised labor laws to encourage shorter working hours, but critics say these steps relied too much on self-regulation.▦Many companies expect young employees to work long hours to learn new skills, said Yasuko Oshima, a senior economist at Mizuho Research Inst	Reuters.

We are ready to go forward when conditions are right, he said.▦The third biggest Czech exporter, which revealed its expansion plan in October, increased production of its budget Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 models by 5 percent to 324,289 last year.▦TPCA, which started production in 2005, plans to assemble 330,000 cars this year, reaching its maximum capacity, Takahashi said.▦The carmaker plans no extraordinary shutdowns of assembly lines at its Kolin plant, 67 km (42 miles) east of Prague, in the coming months. TPCA's outlook contrasts with that of Volkswagen's Skoda Auto, the top Czech firm by turnover, which expects unit sales to show a single-digit drop this year due to the deepening recession in western Europe.▦The Czech economy is highly dependent on the car industry, which accounts for 21 percent of overall exports and is expected to axe 13,500 jobs to some 124,648 by June.▦The country's exports plunged by 24 percent in January, their fastest annual pace on record, and companies slashed jobs, pushing unemployment to a two-year high of 7.4 percent in the same month.▦We can very realistically expect that the (car) market (in Europe) will not rebound this year and the very difficult period will continue, Takahashi said.▦The rapid deterioration in the country's export performance led the government to expect the economy to shrink by up to 2 percent this year in a first contraction since 1998.▦TPCA said it scrapped the plan to hire additional workers at the turn of the year due to the market weakness and plans to keep employment at around the current 3,582 this year.▦The carmaker's revenue fell by 4 percent to 49 billion crowns ($2.42 billion) last year, mainly dented by a strong crown.

The firm has sought to reinvent itself as a maker of high-tech parts for cars and energy-efficient homes, shifting away from smartphones and TVs.▦Like Sony Corp, which reports third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Sharp and Panasonic have been forced into restructuring their businesses in recent years after losing market share to Apple, Samsung and a raft of aggressive, cheaper Chinese manufacturers. In fiscal 2013 alone, Sharp and Panasonic combined piled up losses of about $11 billion.▦I believe it is my responsibility to compile a new business plan as soon as possible, Sharp Chief Executive Officer Kozo Takahashi told reporters at a briefing in Tokyo on Tuesday. Sharp will present a new business plan around May, he said.▦Reporting it reversed into a net loss for the quarter ended December, Sharp said it expects to book a net loss of 30 billion yen ($256 million) this fiscal year through March, compared with the 30 billion net profit it previously forecast.▦Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a full-year net profit of 22.4 billion yen, bolstered by increasing sales to Chinese smartphone makers like Xiaomi Technology Co Ltd (XTC.UL).▦Takahashi said that in addition to pricing pressure, he was seeing a slowdown in smartphone sales in China that had left it with a supply glut that would take until the middle of the year to correct. We're aware that this is an extremely serious situation.▦The forecast loss will leave the company falling short an earlier pledge to its creditors to remain profitable this year - it also received a bailout in 2012 worth over $4 billion at the time from its banks. The loss doesn't mean it will immediately breach debt covenants, but will expose Takahashi and management to pressure to exit the loss cycle quickly - including by further restructuring.▦Sharp had warned two weeks ago that it would likely miss its targets, without giving precise numbers. On Tuesday, its volatile shares rose 5.6 percent as investors hoped the worst may be over this year with a new business plan on the way. As of Monday's close, they were down around 33 percent from a year earlier.▦By contrast, Panasonic reiterated its full-year operating profit forecast of 350 billion yen, raised from 310 billion yen on Oct. 31 last year. That would be up 15 percent compared with the previous fiscal year.▦Third-quarter operating profit slipped 2.8 percent to 113.3 billion yen from a year earlier on weak sales in its increasingly sidelined TV business, but fell less than expected thanks to solid sales of automotive and industrial components.

Nowadays, she has no trouble with used clothes and her pursuit of bargains and scrimping on the most trifling costs borders on the obsessive.▦I've started to pay close attention to tips on TV shows, like minimising the number of times you open the fridge to save electricity, said Takahashi, whose family of five lives in suburbs north of Tokyo.▦We've started to feel the pinch going about things the usual way so I've made adjustments.▦Takahashi's behaviour is mirrored by a growing number of consumers and underlines a worrying trend for Japan.▦After lifting two years of on-and-off coronavirus curbs in March, the government was counting on what's known as revenge spending, pent-up demand triggering a splurge that boosts consumption and a moribund economy, as has been seen in the United States, China and some other major economies.▦But with energy, food and other living costs soaring - exacerbated in recent months by a sharp decline in the yen and the war in Ukraine - those hopes are fading fast.▦Facing the prospect of struggling with rising prices, Japan's famously thrifty consumers are tightening their belts even as they sit on the remains of an estimated 50 trillion yen ($383 billion) - equivalent to 9% of the economy - in forced savings, as the Bank of Japan calls it, accrued during the pandemic.▦Some bigger companies have answered a government call to raise wages but the gains of some 2% will be swallowed up by higher prices of everything from flour, to diapers and beer, economists say.▦In March, electricity prices in resources-poor Japan jumped 22% from the previous year - the most in more than four decades.▦The government recently upgraded its assessment of the economy for the first time in four months, citing an expected recovery in spending, but added a caveat that the outlook was clouded.▦The chance of a 'revenge spending' burst is becoming smaller than we had expected, a government official said in unusually candid remarks, noting that prospects were especially uncertain beyond the summer.▦FINAL FEAST▦With more than 90% of consumers saying in the latest government survey that they expected everyday goods to become more expensive over the next 12 months, economists say it is no surprise to see behaviour like Takahashi's.▦In addition to accepting used uniforms for her son entering kindergarten, and venturing further in search of discounts, the stay-at-home-mum said she has switched to lower-cost private brands (PB) for mayonnaise, ketchup and other food.▦She's not alone.

A person familiar with the matter said cuts could total 3,000 in Japan, and more when Sharp's global operations are included.▦Foxconn confirmed the letter was a personal note to all Sharp employees from Gou and Tai Jeng-wu, Foxconn's vice chairman and the newly-appointed CEO at Sharp.▦Sharp named Tai on Thursday to succeed Kozo Takahashi, becoming the first outsider to lead a company that started out making belt buckles and mechanical pencils a century ago.▦Tai's 30-year Foxconn career includes running its vast operations at Shenzhen in China. He also played a key role in the Sharp stake negotiations, people at Foxconn told Reuters.▦Tai is No.2 at Hon Hai. He speaks Japanese. He was selected from a comprehensive perspective, Takahashi said at an earnings briefing, referring to Foxconn by its formal name, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.▦Tai will be one of nine new board members at Sharp, Takahashi said, adding Sharp aims to finalize the stake sale to Foxconn by the end of June, earlier than an initial Oct. 5 deadline.▦PERSONAL GUARANTEE▦Gou's letter underscores how last month's signing of the stake deal was just the start of a turnaround at Sharp, which has struggled even after two bank bail-outs.▦The billionaire Foxconn founder will personally guarantee the buyback of 25 billion yen ($230 million) worth of preferred shares that Sharp issued to a corporate turnaround fund last year in exchange for a bail-out. Gou said his move was aimed to speed up a merit-based stock reward program for Sharp employees.▦Gou believes profit-sharing is key to retaining talent, said a person familiar with his thinking.▦I can also assure you that the wage cuts and reductions in year-end bonuses are a thing of the past, Gou wrote to Sharp staff, saying pay and annual bonuses would return to their original levels as of this month.▦SMARTPHONE SLOWDOWN▦Sharp and Japanese peers such as Sony Corp (T:6758), once synonymous with cutting-edge electronics, have in recent years been out-manoeuvred by upstart Asian rivals.▦A takeover by Foxconn should help Sharp expand sales channels for its displays. In return, Foxconn will gain control of Sharp's advanced display technology, and strengthen its pricing power with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), a major client of both companies.▦Foxconn's display-making affiliate Innolux Corp will also benefit from cooperation with Sharp, Innolux Chairman H.C. Tuan said on Thursday. Tuan, who announced his resignation, will take on a role as technology adviser to both Innolux and Sharp, Foxconn said.▦Even with Foxconn's support, Sharp will find it tough competing with Chinese display makers aggressively expanding capacity, analysts said.

It ended 2010 down 3 percent.▦The Institute for Supply Management said U.S. manufacturing grew for a 17th straight month following news of faster growth in European manufacturing as well, bolstering investors' appetite for riskier assets.▦Traders said that positive outlook for global equities will be further bolstered after data showed China's factory inflation cooled in December, easing concerns the government would raise interest rates or take other steps to control growth.▦Shares in resource-related companies led the advance on the Nikkei as crude oil prices were steady near their highest in more than two years.▦Oil gained as accelerating manufacturing activity in industrialised economies and winter weather fanned optimism that U.S. crude inventories will continue to drain.▦Inpex Corp, Japan's top oil and gas developer, gained 3.8 percent and Mitsubishi Corp, Japan's biggest trading company, was 3.7 percent higher.▦On the charts, the Nikkei was supported at its 25-day moving average, currently around 10,232.

Around 1.1 billion shares changed hands in morning trade on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's main board, and the daily total is set to come in line with the last week's average of 2.2 billion.▦Everyone was waiting for the Chinese rate hike, so once it's out of the way, investors will be able to buy safely, barring any major drops on the Chinese markets, said Kazuhiro Takahashi, general manager at Daiwa Securities Capital Markets.▦Shanghai shares were 0.3 percent lower in morning trade.▦Japan, which is the best performing Asian market this year with a gain of around 4 percent, has benefited from a shift into developed markets bolstered by strong October-December corporate earnings announced over the last two weeks.▦Inflows from emerging into developing markets by American and European investors will continue and China's rate hike is likely to remind them where the inflation risk is higher, said Takahashi.▦Traders have said money flows from U.S. and European oil investors and pension funds have been detected in the Tokyo market over the last week.▦Increased investor appetite for riskier assets was also evident in the bond market, with the five-year Japanese government bond yield climbing to a 15-month high, continuing a global trend of rising yields.▦Pixela Corp surged 30.2 percent to 345 yen after the electronics maker more than doubled its full-year net profit forecast on strong sales of liquid crystal display TVs thanks to a government incentive programme to encourage purchases of energy-efficient home appliances.

This service can be a solution for Japan's aging society.▦The U.S. firm, one of the pioneers in the sharing economy, has faced resistance and restrictions in some cities as established taxi operators complained of unfair competition.▦In Japan, Uber was blocked by authorities from setting up in two cities as Japan bars non-professional drivers from offering taxi services. In Tokyo, Uber operates as a travel agent, connecting users to established taxi company drivers through its ride-hailing app.▦Non-professional drivers can only operate where public transport is not readily available - like in Tango, where rice paddies surround a main street dotted with old, wooden houses.▦TABLETS, TREKKING▦Among the challenges Uber faces in Tango are persuading seniors to use mobile devices and credit cards.▦Residents will use tablets, such as iPads, to book Uber rides. Uber is making available 50 tablets - easier for the elderly to read than smartphones - for free for six months to book one of 18 registered cars.▦What a great service, said 84-year-old Miyoshi Azuma, brandishing one of the tablets. With this, we can call the car by just clicking the button. She did add that locals may need simpler instructions on how to use the tablet and Uber app.▦I think it will take time to judge whether this service will be a success because people here are sensitive to money, said Takashi Ose, a 79-year-old head of a senior people's club.▦Uber charges half the rate of the taxi firm in central Kyotango city.▦Takuo Nakanishi, 66, who drives for Kyotango's sole taxi operator Mineyama Taxi, worries that Uber may hurt his business.▦I can't afford to live on just my taxi salary. I can be a driver only because I receive a pension. That's how small demand is here for taxis, he said, adding it is not viable for his company to offer a full taxi service for Tango.▦Uber hopes to roll out similar services in other depopulated areas in Japan. It's global UberASSIST platform already caters for seniors and people with disabilities, and it provides transport services for elderly care homes in Florida, for example.▦There are many communities which cannot respond to people's need to go somewhere when they need, said Takahashi. Uber can be a sustainable business model in such places because we can provide services using existing assets.▦One of those assets, 68-year-old Uber driver Yoshihiro Hatanaka, welcomed the flexibility of Uber's service.▦I love trekking, so I'll probably only drive when it's raining, he said.

File photo of a pedestrian walking past a logo of Sharp Corp at a train station in Tokyo▦By Taro Fuse and Ritsuko Ando▦TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Sharp Corp and its main banks are set to agree on Thursday to a $1.7 billion rescue and restructuring plan that will likely include a promise to split off its ailing smartphone display business, a person involved in the discussions said.▦As part of its second major bailout in three years, Sharp's lenders, Mizuho Bank and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, will inject a combined 200 billion yen ($1.7 billion) in a debt-for-equity swap, the source said, declining to be identified as he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.▦The loss-making company will also pledge to scale back its North American television operations and cut around 5,000 jobs, or 10 percent of its global workforce, the source said.▦The source said the LCD operations, while likely to be split off to improve transparency and accountability, would continue to be owned by Sharp for now.▦Haggling over the extent of job cuts and restructuring had held up the talks, with the company initially reluctant to split off the LCD division, which accounts for 30 percent of Sharp's sales, company and banking sources have previously said.Analysts have said splitting off the division could pave the way for a deal such as a merger with rival Japan Display Inc - a possibility which Sharp has denied considering.▦While relief that a deal with lenders was in its final stages boosted Sharp's shares 4.5 percent to their highest level since December, the plans are likely to viewed as not going far enough by many investors.▦The restructuring is likely to stop the bleeding in terms of losses and cash flow, but it's not going to resolve the basic problems, said Yasuo Sakuma, executive officer at Bayview Asset Management.▦It's difficult to assess positively since we're not seeing any strategy toward future growth.▦Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama said the company was considering various options but nothing had been decided, adding that more will be revealed in May, when it releases a new business plan.▦Representatives for the lenders declined to comment.

File photo of a pedestrian walking past a logo of Sharp Corp at a train station in Tokyo▦By Taro Fuse and Ritsuko Ando▦TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Sharp Corp and its main banks are set to agree on Thursday to a $1.7 billion rescue and restructuring plan that will likely include a promise to split off its ailing smartphone display business, a person involved in the discussions said.▦As part of its second major bailout in three years, Sharp's lenders, Mizuho Bank and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, will inject a combined 200 billion yen ($1.7 billion) in a debt-for-equity swap, the source said, declining to be identified as he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.▦The loss-making company will also pledge to scale back its North American television operations and cut around 5,000 jobs, or 10 percent of its global workforce, the source said.▦The source said the LCD operations, while likely to be split off to improve transparency and accountability, would continue to be owned by Sharp for now.▦Haggling over the extent of job cuts and restructuring had held up the talks, with the company initially reluctant to split off the LCD division, which accounts for 30 percent of Sharp's sales, company and banking sources have previously said.Analysts have said splitting off the division could pave the way for a deal such as a merger with rival Japan Display Inc - a possibility which Sharp has denied considering.▦While relief that a deal with lenders was in its final stages boosted Sharp's shares 4.5 percent to their highest level since December, the plans are likely to viewed as not going far enough by many investors.▦The restructuring is likely to stop the bleeding in terms of losses and cash flow, but it's not going to resolve the basic problems, said Yasuo Sakuma, executive officer at Bayview Asset Management.▦It's difficult to assess positively since we're not seeing any strategy toward future growth.▦Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama said the company was considering various options but nothing had been decided, adding that more will be revealed in May, when it releases a new business plan.▦Representatives for the lenders declined to comment.
