In Asia, Supply, Power Shortages Hurt Growth
Many Asian countries that depend on exports are facing supply shortages, power cuts and other problems. Information released Thursday showed that Japan’s factory production has slowed and expectations for China’s manufacturing have weakened. Automakers and producers of information technology products and other electronic equipment were the hardest hit, the Japanese government reported.Other automakers also have slowed operations. They say shortages of computer chips and other parts are interfering with normal production. For China, the index number fell from 50.1 in August to 49.6 in September. An index value of less than 50 means that business activity is decreasing while a value over 50 means it is expanding. The study was carried out before power shortages began causing factories in some parts of China to suspend operations.
