Nagoya, Jan. 30 (Jiji Press)--Toyota Motor Corp. is expected to post a record consolidated operating profit of more than 2.3 trillion yen for fiscal 2013, backed mainly by positive effects of the yen's weakness.
In the year ending in March, the major Japanese automaker's group operating profit is likely to exceed the previous record of 2,270.3 billion yen scored in fiscal 2007. Besides the yen's weakness, brisk sales in North America and China have bolstered Toyota's earnings.
