The introduction of additional duties on imported cars by the United States in the amount of 25% could lead to losses for the Japanese economy of up to 1.75 trillion yen ($11.74 billion). This was reported on April 2 by NHK TV channel with reference to calculations by SMBC Nikko Securities Inc.

The company's experts took into account not only the impact on the Japanese automotive industry, but also on related industries. According to the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the total volume of exports from the country to the United States in 2024 amounted to 21.29 trillion yen ($142 billion), which was the highest among all trading partners. At the same time, car exports amounted to 6.264 trillion yen, which is 28.3% of the total amount.
