Toyota to give forecast on Friday
Toyota Motors will announce an earnings forecast on Friday for the financial year to March 2012, as it steadily restores production disrupted by Thai flooding that forced it to withdraw its outlook a month earlier. Toyota’s output has returned to normal levels at most of its production sites worldwide, although Thai and South African plants continue operating at reduced rates after Thailand’s worst floods in 50 years hit suppliers, cutting global output by 215,000 vehicles from 10 October to 25 November.
