Toyota has revised its revenue forecast for the year downwards by one percent to 27.5 trillion yen ($225.82 billion, 207.7 billion euros), largely due to expectations of weaker sales in emerging Asian countries.

Although it expects to hit sales targets in China, Toyota says profitability in the world’s largest car market is likely to suffer.

But analysts say it has a relatively large presence in emerging regions such as Asia where economies are slowing down the most.
