Muva nje, njengoba isidingo semakethe sensimbi siqhubeka nokukhula, abakhiqizi bensimbi abathathu abakhulu baseJapan bakhulise ngokulandelana amathemba abo enzuzo ephelele onyakeni wezimali ka-2021-2022 (kusukela ngo-Ephreli 2021 kuya kuMashi 2022).
Izinkampani ezintathu ezinkulu zensimbi zaseJapan, iNippon Steel, iJFE Steel kanye neKobe Steel, zisanda kumemezela izibalo zazo zokusebenza kwengxenye yokuqala yonyaka wezimali ka-2021-2022 (Ephreli 2021-Septhemba 2021). Izibalo zibonisa ukuthi ngemuva kokuba ubhubhane olusha lwe-crown pneumonia luzinzile ngaphansi kokulawulwa, umnotho uqhubekile nokululama, futhi isidingo sensimbi ezimotweni nakwezinye izimboni zokukhiqiza siphinde sanda. Ngaphezu kwalokho, intengo yensimbi iqhutshwe ukwanda kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa ezifana namalahle kanye nensimbi. Nazo zanda ngokufanele. Ngenxa yalokho, abakhiqizi abathathu abakhulu bensimbi baseJapan bonke bazoguqula ukulahlekelwa kube yinzuzo engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka wezimali ka-2021-2022.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba isidingo semakethe yensimbi sizoqhubeka nokukhula, izinkampani ezintathu zensimbi zonke zikhuphule izibikezelo zazo zenzuzo yonyaka wezimali ka-2021-2022. I-Nippon Steel ikhuphule inzuzo yayo kusukela kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-370 okwakulindelwe ngaphambili kuya kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-520, i-JFE Steel ikhuphule inzuzo yayo kusukela kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-240 okwakulindelwe kuya kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-250, kanti i-Kobe Steel ikhuphule inzuzo yayo kusukela kulokho okwakulindelwe. Ama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-40 aseJapan akhuphukile aya kuma-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-50.
UMasashi Terahata, iphini likamongameli we-JFE Steel, uthe engqungqutheleni yabezindaba esanda kwenziwa ku-inthanethi: “Ngenxa yokushoda kwe-semiconductor kanye nezinye izizathu, imisebenzi yokukhiqiza nokusebenza kwenkampani iyathinteka okwesikhashana. Kodwa-ke, ngokusimama komnotho wasekhaya nowangaphandle, kulindeleke ukuthi isidingo semakethe sensimbi sizoqhubeka. Sizokhula kancane kancane.
