Elpida to Receive 2.1 Billion USD in Aid

btarunr · Jun 27, 2009

DRAM major Elpida, like most other Japanese companies, is not seeing the best of days, in fact its worst. The world's third largest DRAM company holds great importance to the Japanese electronics industry. The state-backed Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) will acquire shares in the company, and the government has approved dispatching 30 billion Yen to the company as early as by next week. DBJ separately plans to offer 10 billion Yen, while another state-backed financial institution Japan Bank for International Cooperation, will provide 20~30 billion Yen in emergency loans.

Three of Japan's megabanks and others are expected to lend around 100 billion Yen to Elpida, said Nikkei daily, adding that a public-private fund that supports innovation will also consider providing tens of billions of Yen. In all, at least US 2.1 billion worth of aid is coming Elpida's way. More companies will follow suit and seek government aid.

I remember it was only a few years ago that the US was fining Japanese companies for "anticompetitive" behaviour, like selling at cost or below cost, or state aid issues.

Oh, how the world has changed.

By robbing a Japanese bank.

This is good news as Micron (worlds number 1) and Samsung (worlds number 2 I take it) are also faltering and need help. Elpida and Promos make some damn nice ICs so I would hate to lose them.

What the hell? It's bad enough the US Govt is giving money to domestic businesses that failed, but now they are giving it to foreign businesses as well? This shit has got to stop. Let the bad businesses fail already, so we can get to rebuilding our economy, instead of trying to prop it up with band aid fixes.

I have a feeling the Japanese will be as peeved as we are at GM/Chrysler bailouts. You can't save a sinking ship. How many economies have to be dragged down until the people in charge realize this?

Nono, it's Japanese government that is bailing this company out. The amount in JPY is converted to USD to make you understand the amount better.

Maybe the topic should be 200 Billion Yen in Aid and in the story convert it to USD

Got Elpida chips in my memory, did my part to aid.
