Business confidence of major manufacturers in Japan is deteriorating
Sentiment of major Japanese manufacturers deteriorated in the July-September quarter, according to the Bank of Japan’s latest quarterly survey of tankan business sentiment.
The headline index for major manufacturers’ sentiment came in at 8, down from the previous quarter’s reading of 9. Economists polled by Reuters expected a print of 11.
“Our expectation and market expectations were that production numbers would pick up – supply conditions had improved, you’ve seen a diminishing impact on supply from the zero Covid policy in China, commodity prices went down a little bit,” said Stefan Angrick, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics.
“The fact that the manufacturing side of the economy isn’t doing very well certainly isn’t good for the outlook,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.”
But the non-manufacturing index rose slightly, which could mean the late Covid recovery in Japan is getting underway, he added.
