The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has continued to conduct surveys of Japanese companies doing business in the United States to examine the impact of COVID-19.
The fourth survey in the series was conducted between May 27th and June 1st, with 834 companies responding.
JETRO’s Houston office has produced a video summarizing the survey results, including how they compare to the previous survey.
As JETRO Houston Chief Executive Director Masahiro Sakurauchi notes:
According to the results of today’s survey, it looks as though some companies are using the coronavirus as an opportunity to further expand supply and production in the United States more than ever before. Japanese companies are increasing their activities in the United States and we at JETRO Houston anticipate that they will contribute to America's employment and economic recovery.
