Japanese Chipmakers to Reduce Capital Investment, NHK Says

Tokyo, April 11 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's five major chipmakers
will spend 150 billion yen ($1.15 billion) less on capital
investment in the year through March 1999 compared to a year
earlier because of a sluggish market, NHK news reported.

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. will cut capital spending in half to 50
billion yen and Hitachi Ltd. will cut spending 20 percent to 100
billion yen. Toshiba Corp. will cut 20 percent, Fujitsu Ltd. will
cut as much as 40 percent and NEC Corp. will probably spend the
same as last year, the report said.

Worldwide sales of equipment used to make microchips surged
32.4 percent in January as strong growth in the U.S. market
continued to drive worldwide sales higher, the Semiconductor
Equipment Association of Japan said Wednesday.
