Japan's economy is not yet on a good recovery track half a year after the consumption tax hike in April. According to the Bank of Japan's September survey of Tankan, or the short-term business survey of enterprises in Japan,released on Ocotber 1, it is learned that peopel in major companies have confidence their businesses are picking up, and in some indexes there are some improvement, but business sentiment as a whole is not so good.
What's more, on September 1, the yen was weakened to 110 dollars, the weakest ever over the past 6 years, which means to weigh on small and mid-sized companies and households in terms of costs, or fears for higher costs.
