Japan Big Makers' Sentiment Flat: BOJ Survey
Tokyo, Oct. 1 (Jiji Press)--Business sentiment among large manufacturers in Japan was unchanged from three months before, the Bank of Japan's "tankan" quarterly survey for September showed Tuesday.
The headline diffusion index for large manufacturers' current business conditions stood at plus 13, the same as in the previous survey for June, the BOJ said.
The latest DI reading came against the average forecast of plus 14 among 15 economic research institutes surveyed by Jiji Press.
The DI represents the percentage of companies seeing good business conditions minus those feeling the opposite.
The current business condition DI for large nonmanufacturers came to plus 34, up from plus 33, the BOJ said.
