TOKYO (AP) — Business sentiment among Japan’s large manufacturers stood unchanged in the latest quarter from the previous quarter, according to a closely watched survey called “tankan” released Tuesday.
The Bank of Japan survey put the benchmark index at plus-13 for the July-September quarter, the same from the previous survey conducted for April-June.
A positive number means more companies said they were optimistic about business conditions than those feeling pessimistic.
The index for large nonmanufacturers stood at plus-34, up from plus-33 the previous quarter.
