In July 28th, the Ministry of economy and industry of Japan announced the results of the 2008 annual equipment investment plan survey.

The survey shows that the equipment investment plan of large enterprises has increased by 9.2% over the previous year, and after another 5 years, it is below 10% again.

From the investment purpose, the proportion of equipment pformation and maintenance is relatively high, and the equipment investment in dyeing and finishing industry is mainly used in environmental protection.
