The Bank of Japan's Tankan is rapidly deteriorating Whether companies are willing to invest or hire at 4:27 on July 2
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the business judgment of companies deteriorated rapidly in the Tankan = Corporate Short-term Economic Observation Survey announced by the Bank of Japan on the 1st. It is expected that the number of new graduates hired next year will also decrease, and in the future economic activities may be positive and companies may be more willing to employ.
According to the Bank of Japan's Tankan this time, the index of economic judgment of large enterprise manufacturing industry fell to the second largest drop after the Lehman shock, and the index of large enterprise non-manufacturing industry including tourism and food is also the largest ever. It has become worse.
Regarding employment, the manufacturing industry, which had said that there was a shortage of manpower before the infection spread, decided that there are too many manpower, and there is concern about the second wave of infection spread. Is more cautious about hiring with plans to reduce it from the previous year.
On the other hand, there is a tendency to increase software investment to promote teleworking among companies and significantly change the way of working due to the spread of infection, and to increase R&D investment for future growth.
Some people in the Bank of Japan say that economic activity will gradually resume in the future, and that the economy will “stop bottoming out” based on this Tankan, but the issue is how positive companies are in investment and employment. That's right.
