　 At first I would like to express our deep sympathy for all those who affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake last March.

　 Japanese economy had faced several difficulties one after another in 2011. The serious supply side restrictions including the damages in supply chains and electricity shortages by the Great East Japan Earthquake had partially resolved and productions and exports showed some recoveries by the summer. But other difficulties like global economic slow down after European Debt Crisis and Japanese Yen appreciation had cast another shadow over Japanese economy and made Japanese economic outlook uncertain. To cope with those difficult economic conditions, the Bank of Japan had amplified its easy monetary policy by adding amount of “Asset Purchase Program” based on “Comprehensive Monetary Easing Policy” employed in October 2010 and declared to maintain its easy monetary policy in the foreseeable future.

　Central Tanshi Co., Ltd. was born with the merger of Nagoya Tanshi, Nihon Tanshi and Yamane Tanshi in April 2001. In July 2009, we celebrated our 100th anniversary since its original establishment as a bill broker by Mr. Jukichi Yamane at Nihonbashi Tokyo in 1909, and stepped forward to our new century.
