Japan exports fall for fifth consecutive month

They can come to us, 31 million tourists. When they come once they'll keep coming

Good idea. Turkey is definitely a top destination for tourism, and offers a lot of culture and history, which will help to expand the minds of our tourists.

Hope so, I seen Chinese and other Asian tourists before but not as much as other countries, I think it's because we are not known much there or advertised. I'm sure in the future it will increase. I'm actually surprised how France is top destination for tourism could somebody tell me who went there what's so fascinating because I've went to see but other than a steel tower with a lift and one palace and a few shopping destinations got bored easily.

Personally I find Turkey deadly boring. Bad food, poor service everywhere, nothing interested things to see, with people just want your best: your money. The country is cheap for budget travellers, but that´s all.

Fitch downgrades Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal

TOKYO: Fitch on Monday downgraded Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp., the world's second-biggest steel manufacturer, citing a global industry downturn and the firm's weak financial position.

Fitch said it cut the steelmaker's rating by one notch to BBB with a negative outlook, meaning another downgrade could follow.

The firm, created through the recent merger of Japan's Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal, posted a $3.9 billion combined net loss in its fiscal first half to September.

The whopping shortfall was largely due to stock investment losses and the writedown of money-losing Japanese mills, it said.

"The downgrade reflects (the company's) weakened financial profile amid a global steel industry downturn," Fitch said.

"Leverage has increased significantly as a result of lower profitability stemming from weak demand and prices.

"The negative outlook reflects low visibility and uncertainty regarding the likely recovery of the steel industry in 2013," Fitch added.

Steel demand has been weighed down by a slowing in China's economy and remained sluggish throughout 2012, Fitch said, with weakening vehicle production also taking a bite out of steelmakers' results.

Japanese producers have struggled with an unfavourable exchange rate, which saw the yen hit record highs against the dollar last year, making their exports less competitive overseas.

Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal formally merged in October, creating the world's second-largest steelmaker behind India's ArcelorMittal.

Japan has a large trade surplus with China, and it is they who are hurting, not us. We just sent their economy into a recession, while our economy is the strongest in several years.

Unlike Japan, China continues a policy of intimidation until today.
