TOKYO (MNI) - Japan's current sentiment index rose in November for the
second straight monthly rise, thanks to higher retail sales and increased
services demand, a key government survey released Monday showed.
The survey indicates whether respondents with jobs most sensitive to
economic conditions -- taxi and truck drivers, department-store sales staff and
restaurant and shop owners -- think economic conditions have improved or
worsened from three months before.
These are the key points from the latest monthly Economy Watchers Survey,
conducted by the Cabinet Office between Nov. 25 and Nov. 31.
--The Economy Watchers sentiment index for Japan's current economic climate
rose 1.5 points to 51.0 in November on a seasonally adjusted basis, the second
straight rise after rising 0.9 points to 49.5 in October. The index rose above
the key level of 50.
--The Watchers outlook index showed sentiment over the situation two to
three months ahead marked the first rise in three months, up 1.6 points to 52.2,
thanks to recovering retail sales, foods and housing after the temporary
weakness in the third quarter. The index fell 0.7 points to 50.6 in October.
--The Cabinet Office slightly upgraded its overall economic assessment
based on the Economy Watchers Survey, saying, the DI is "recovering moderately."
Previously, it said, "The gradual recovery continues."
--"Looking ahead, there are concerns over high costs and the impact of the
trade dispute. But there are expectations for end-year sales," the Cabinet
Office said.
