縮む景気 底入れへ試練 雇用不安、消費に影 在庫は減少 減産ゆるむ 中国の対策企業に恩恵 

Japanese economy's recession, which began since November,2007, has entered a serious satge of its aspects. Against the backdrop(background) of the circumstances where the inventory adjustment has been proceeding and the Chinese government has been implementing its energetic economic pump-priming measures, there has been a sign among companies of ceasing continuing reduction of their production.However,still,they cannot see a possible exit from the current global financial crisis.And there seems to be no possibility that exports will full-fledgedly recover its strength in the near future.


In other words,it could be said that the economy is shrinking even today.
Then they have to face many difficulties before the economy hits the bottom.Besides,various kinds of fears among people on their employment have been shedding a dim shadow in consumption.

However,it is true that some companies have started increasing their production recently because the Chinese government's stimulus package revealed some time ago has surely had a positive effect in Chinese market and the shipments for there have been increasing.
