Akio Toyoda of Toyota Motor and Japan's prime minister Abe- "we are of one mind in fighting deflation"

02/20/2015

Toyota Motor is not asking for price concessions from suppliers in fall 2014 and is likely to do the same in spring 2015, so that suppliers can raise wages for the estimated 1.35 million employees at Toyota suppliers in Japan. Toyota Motor CEO, Akio Toyoda, also a grandson of a Japanese leader like prime minister Abe, says "we are of one mind in fighting deflation." Toyota has benefitted from the yen at 110 to the dollar which increases revenue and profit from exports. Both Abe and Toyoda carry a large responsibility as Japan fights off the effects of deflation, and the effects of an increase in the consumption tax on consumers.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
