Nice to meet you, my name is Kazuaki Yada. I have always had a strong overseas orientation and because of my connection with NANO SEIMITSU in my previous job, I have decided to join the company. However, due to the influence of Corona, I have been forced to wait in Japan for the moment.

The brutal damage caused by this Coronavirus to the industries is enormous, and according to the forecast by Thailand’s National Economic and Social Development Commission (NESDC), the actual GDP growth rate in 2020 is expected to fall below negative 6%.

Similarly, it is said that the Japanese economy will take a full 2 years to recover to the pre-pandemic level, or even longer. The economy has been slowing down in Japan since last year due to the increase in consumption tax and trade friction, but I am acutely aware that an unprecedented situation has occurred due to the new Coronavirus, and we are now entering an era of unpredictable upheaval.

In this era of instability and uncertainty, no one has a definitive answer. I feel that both individuals and organizations are being challenged on “flexibility and endurance.”
