Determining the basics of the economy, leaving it "deteriorated" The economic trend index improved from the previous month 16:22 on August 7
The business trend index for this June announced by the Cabinet Office showed a sharp increase of 3.5 points from the previous month due to factors such as increased sales of clothing and air conditioners. This was largely affected by the low index in May when the government declared an emergency situation, and we left the economy's basic judgment as "deteriorated".
According to the June economic trend index released by the Cabinet Office, the “concordance index,” which indicates the current state of the economy, was 76.4 when 2015 was 100, an increase of 3.5 points from the previous month.
It's been five months since the last month, and the biggest improvement since 1985 when statistics can be compared.
Compared to May when the government declared an emergency situation, there was a uniform cash benefit of 100,000 yen, sales of clothing and air conditioners increased, and shipments of cars and motorcycles recovered. The main factor.
On the other hand, the underlying judgment of the economy, which is mechanically derived from the movement of the index, has been left unchanged as "deteriorated", which indicates that there is a high possibility of a recession.
This is the 11th consecutive month of “bad” decisions, the longest time since 1985 when statistics were comparable.
In addition, the "leading index", which shows the economic outlook in the next few months, was the largest increase in the past due to improvements in consumer sentiment, etc. I would like to continue to monitor the movement of statistics."
