U.S. Automaker CEOs: Congress Should Address Skewed Japanese Yen
By Iver Penn

Chief Executive Officers of DaimlerChrysler USA, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation inspirited the Congress a couple of days ago to tackle the vital concern on the skewed and undervalued Japanese yen at a "Manufacturing Summit" conducted by the U.S. Senate Democratic Policy Conference on Capitol Hill. Alan Mulally, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company, said during the forum that through an open market, the values of the different currencies should be impartially determined and not pre-determined by the governments. He further said that China is the recent focus, making Japan most troubled to the automotive industry. He added that the American government needs to mandate the Japanese government in order to allow the yen reach its true value again since its skewed yen is one of the reasons of a large deficit in the auto sector with the United States.

President Stephen Collins of the Automotive Trade Policy Council (ATPC) said that almost all major currencies, excluding the yen had appreciated tremendously against the dollar. In effect, the Japanese yen has extremely diluted - in contrast to the status of the global financial markets - against the dollar and other major industrialized currencies.

Collins added that a serious destruction and disruption to American automakers is being caused by the misaligned yen. In 20 years, the Japanese yen has now reached its lowest value. He explained that the devaluated yen drives billions of subsidized dollars into Japan's car companies that results to direct boosting of Japan's exports vehicle and parts. The long run effect, Collins further explained, is that Japan's car, truck and SUV exports to the U.S. will be rushing with the aim to reach 2.5 million vehicles this year.

The CEOs of DaimlerChrysler USA, Ford and General Motors made clear in the forum with the Congress that they profoundly support Senator Debbie Stabenow's legislation - S. 1021.

The legislation requires the US Treasury to bilaterally take aggressive action - that would reach the international level - to properly realign the Japanese yen with the other major OECD nations.

Collins concluded that the Congress is making a considerable action on this matter that the resolution, in whatever way, of the misalignment of the yen is one of the major elements of assuring US competitiveness in the auto industry.
