Japan's Overseas Resource Development Policy

Masaru Saito

Japanese Economy, 1975, vol. 3, issue 4, 38-82

Abstract: Japan is the world's largest importer of resources. In addition to its limited territory, it has a large population, and natural resources are already depleted, so that it relies heavily on foreign resources. Economic growth causes the demand for resources to increase at a commensurate rate. To meet the growing demand for resources, the deficit must be secured from abroad. As can be seen in Table 1, most of the vital resources show extremely high degees of foreign dependency which, moreover, show a tendency to rise rapidly.
