The business environment surrounding the automobile
industry remains problematic and unstable. Excessive yen
appreciation has moved toward a correction, and the U.S.
economy continues to grow, albeit slowly. At the same
time, however, economies in the euro area remain in
recession, the United States is expected to restrict its levels
of quantitative easing, prompting disquiet in global  nan-
cial markets, and the pace of growth in emerging econo-
mies is growing more sluggish.
Operating under these conditions, the Mitsubishi
Motors Group is now entering the  nal year of its mid-
term business plan, “Jump 2013.” Under a basic policy to
achieve “Growth and Leap Forward,” we will continue to
implement the plan’s four core initiatives.
• Concentrating business resources in emerging markets
and environmental initiatives
• Reforming the cost structure
• Pursuing business alliance opportunities for pro t increases
• Reinforcing our business foundation
To Our Shareholders and Stakeholders
In  scal 2013, we will work to cap off the successes
of “Jump 2013,” our mid-term business plan that
calls for us to achieve “Growth and Leap Forward.”
