According to the Tankan = Corporate Short-term Economic Observation Survey released earlier by the Bank of Japan, the index showing the economic judgment of large manufacturing companies was +5 points, an improvement from the previous survey of -10 points.
The improvement has recovered to the level before the spread of the new coronavirus infection for the third consecutive term.
On the other hand, in the non-manufacturing industry such as eating and drinking and lodging, even large companies have only -1 point, and there is a difference in the pace of improvement between the manufacturing industry and the non-manufacturing industry.
