  • China's slowdown and a rising yen for the expected fall.
  • As Japan continues to recover from a devastating earthquake and tsunami last year, the ministry said industrial production continued to improve.
  • Industries that contributed to the slight rise in output included transport, chemicals and electrical machinery.

      I could draw a demand - supply diagram from this, indicating the declining demand for cars, consequently leading to a drop in supply. 
    • Erica Nozawa
      Erica Nozawa on 31 May 12
       
      This is because China is a massive economy, and it bears an extremely important role in the Japanese economy, especially after having taken over the second largest economy world wide. 
    • Erica Nozawa
      Erica Nozawa on 31 May 12
       
      Japan's economy stagnated severely after the earthquake and tsunami. This was due to the rapidly dropping demand from consumers, who deferred purchasing inessential goods. 
  • , demand from China would be the determining factor for continued growth
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 31 May 12
       
      This quotation indicates the global impact of the Chinese economy. Because a large proportion of Japanese goods' is exported to China, a decrease in demand means that there would be less output. This can be related to the US GDP article, stating that a decrease in demand would make it difficult to produce the good to be either exported or imported and have affect on GDP growth.

      Need to explain how decrease or increase in currency can influence output. 
  • Erica Nozawa on 31 May 12
     
    Japan's factory output was weaker than expected in April because of slower demand for electronics goods, especially in China. Output was 0.2% higher in April from March, the Trade and Industry Ministry said. Analysts had forecast a figure of 0.5%. The ministry said it expects output to fall in May, before rebounding in June.

  • In Denmark, the government has set a goal of achieving 50 per cent of our electricity consumption from wind energy by 2020, and Korea is leading the way by systematically implementing policies required to spur Green Growth.
  • We have installed more than 200 onshore wind power turbines in the country since 1998, and almost 70 per cent of installed wind power plants are currently using Vestas wind turbines.

  • With our many years of experience in turning the wind into energy on land and on sea, Vestas will strive to partner with South Korea to reach their goal of building sustainable cities and ensuring future generations have a reliable source of energy
  • So far, we have installed 581 offshore turbines, equalling 38 per cent of all such turbines in the world. In 2010 alone, we installed a total of 555 MW at the Robin Rigg, Thanet and Bligh Bank offshore wind farms, increasing our installed capacity to more than 1,400 MW.

  • However the recession has significantly reduced industrial output - and so demand for credits to cover industrial emissions has also fallen.

  • The extra cost will be passed on to consumers, it warns.
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 09 Jun 12
       
      If Carbon becomes more expensive, this reduces the number of firms which still can afford the price and therefore leads to reducing the amount of Carbon.

      A diagram representing the impact of minimum price should be drawn and explained. Consumer burden needs to be explained as well. 
    • Shoko Kuroda
      Shoko Kuroda on 09 Jun 12
       
      This can be explained to support why when an economy is in recession, it has a similar impact as minimum price has. In addition, this also has a negative affect on the government who has the benefit of minimum price since then they are able to collect the money. Therefore this reduces the intention of the government to set a minimum price since they would have less benefit when the economy is in a recession.
