■Domestic companies' ordinary profits from April to June reached over 35 trillion yen, the highest quarterly figure ever
September 2, 2024
According to the Corporation Statistics Survey released by the Ministry of Finance, domestic companies' ordinary profits from April to June this year reached over 35 trillion yen, the highest quarterly figure ever. This was due to the weak yen boosting profits in the manufacturing industry and the strong performance of the service industry.
The Corporation Statistics Survey is conducted once every three months and targets over 30,000 companies with capital of 10 million yen or more.
Domestic companies' ordinary profits from April to June this year, excluding finance and insurance, reached 35.768 trillion yen, a 13.2% increase from the same period last year and the highest quarterly figure ever.
Of these, the manufacturing industry saw a 13% increase due to the weak yen boosting profits at automobile manufacturers, as well as the increase in orders for parts at semiconductor manufacturers due to the increase in data center construction due to advances in AI technology.
In addition, the non-manufacturing sector saw a 13.3% increase due to the increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan, which led to a boom in service industries such as hotels and restaurants, and the construction industry seeing an increase in orders for large projects.
The total amount of capital investment by companies was 11.9161 trillion yen, up 7.4% from the same period last year.
Of this, the manufacturing sector saw a 1.4% increase due to semiconductor manufacturers strengthening their production systems for parts used in EVs (electric vehicles), and the non-manufacturing sector saw a 10.9% increase due to the opening of new restaurants.
・"Internal reserves" reach record high of over 600 trillion yen
The Corporate Enterprise Statistics Survey also examines the retained earnings that companies have on hand, or so-called "internal reserves."
According to the survey, the "internal reserves" of domestic companies, excluding finance and insurance, were 600.9857 trillion yen last year, up 8.3% from the previous year.
This is the 12th consecutive year that internal reserves have increased, and is the highest ever.
The Ministry of Finance stated, "The increase in retained earnings is believed to be due to favorable corporate performance. We would like to see whether sustained wage increases will lead to the distribution of profits to workers, which will in turn increase consumption and lead to economic growth."
