Due to the new coronavirus, the business outlook of SMEs is rapidly deteriorating. In a survey conducted by the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry from late last month to this month, the index showing economic judgment dropped significantly, and it was the worst since the start of the survey in 2006.
The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry asks small and medium-sized enterprises in Tokyo's 23 wards about their economic outlook every three months. This time, we conducted a survey from the 22nd of the previous month to the 1st of this month, and received responses from 985 companies. .
According to this, the index obtained by subtracting the ratio of companies that answered "worse" from the ratio of companies that answered that the economy "turned around" was minus 70.1 for all industries, the most since the start of the survey in 2006. It became a bad value.
The last time, the deterioration from 3 months ago was 43 points, the largest ever.
Furthermore, the outlook for the economy is expected to worsen to minus 72.1, and the view of the economy of SMEs is rapidly deteriorating due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
According to the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, "This survey once again revealed that the environment surrounding the management of small and medium-sized enterprises is tough. We would like to continue providing support, including introducing support measures from the national and local governments."
