US President Trump said that he would charge 300% import taxes on semiconductor classes, and if the United States really charges 300% semiconductor taxes and recruits related products such as targets and semiconductor equipment, it may affect Japan's actual GDP of 0.4%.
According to the report of the Current Affairs Communications Club, Nomura General Research Institute chief economics student Tomoei Kiyuki announced the results of the trial on the 18th, pointing out that if the United States imposes 300% import tax on semiconductor courses, it is estimated that it will affect Japan's actual GDP by 0.42% in one year (to reduce the actual GDP by 0.42%). Tokie Kinai pointed out that the applicable objects of semiconductor tax "still have uncertainties", and the above calculation results are to include semiconductor equipment, computer equipment such as PCs and related parts for calculation.
Toei Kinagan pointed out that if the tax-related subjects are limited to semiconductors, it will only lower Japan's real GDP by 0.09%. However, if the target is expanded to related products such as semiconductor equipment, the impact will be increased to 0.42%, and the impact on Japan will be greater. The Ministry of Economic Industry pointed out that Japan's semiconductor equipment global market share reaches 31% (2021).
