The Economic supervene of Japan's Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster

On Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:46 pm, a 9.2 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. This lead to a chain reaction of events leading to a tsunami, and a nuclear disaster as one of Japan's power stations leaked radiation. What are the global effects of these three disasters?

1. Higher vigor Prices

Earthquake & Tsunami In Japan

Energy prices are soaring because of the fear that the current unrest in the Middle East is affecting the global furnish of oil. The disaster in the Fukusima power middle point highlights the need for Japan to now import former vigor sources to replace any vigor produced through its nuclear facilities- which will add to more ask for natural gas, and oil.

2. Infrastructural renewal Projects

Both the earthquake and the tsunami have badly damaged much of Japan's infrastructure. Obviously a rebuilding phase would mean a government with a high debt problem, would have to spend in the reconstruction of those areas affected by this triple disaster. This could come to be the responsibility of the corporate sector, who dominate Japan's economy.

3. Banking and guarnatee Losses

Whether guarnatee clubs pay out billions of dollars of claims due to the the earthquake and tsunami, remains to be seen, but the "man-made" nuclear disaster could come to be their liability. Japan's global banking and guarnatee industries may be forced to reinvest at home, depleting any global investments face the nation.

4. Change of Government?

Before these three disasters, ordinary Japanese had lost their reliance in an additional one scandal hit government. How the government reaction to these three disasters, and the subsequent rebuilding process, could Change the group perceptions of their leaders- but in the long term, we could see more changes inside the top echelon of the Japanese government.

5. Environmental Perceptions

After the nuclear disaster in Fukusima, many citizen are questioning the wisdom of construction nuclear vigor plants in a quake zone. Depending on the radiation levels, and the area contaminated, a worldwide reaction to the use of nuclear vigor could effect in the ending of the Obama nuclear vigor program in the Usa, and even France's ambitious vigor program.

6. Money Markets

Japan remains the worlds third largest economy, but also like the United States, one of its biggest debtors. The value of the yen could fall, as banks spend on reconstruction projects, whilst the Government may be forced to raise taxes to pay for them. Some large Japanese corporations may cancel or put on hold overseas projects, re-investing these funds in rebuilding the areas affected by the earthquake.

7. Asian-Pacific Growth

China has the money and the economy in this region, but Japan is a second player in economic terms. Japanese clubs spend in much of South East and North Asia, whilst the government often sponsor instruction & training programs in the region. Japan's contributions in the area, could shrink, leading to some fears of reduced growth.

The natural disasters of the earthquake and tsunami, have led to the man made nuclear disaster, and destruction of part of a high tech nation.. Japanese are resilient, inventive and industrious people, and should overcome the hurdles of reconstruction. However this does have a short term effect on the global economy, and a long term effect on the hereafter of the nuclear power industry.
