ANA Holdings: "Japanese economy is expected to recover gradually as the employment and income environment continues to improve and various government policies have a beneficial effect. But ANA HD expects that its business environment will be subject to various global risks including growing uncertainty in overseas economies and unpredictable fluctuations in foreign exchange and crude oil markets, as well as increasingly fierce competition in the aviation industry in both Japan and other countries. However, ANA HD also expects to benefit from the ongoing increase in demand for travel to Japan in the run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and continued economic growth leading to increased air travel in the Asia-Pacific region."
