Cabinet Office in its monthly economic report:
- Japan’s economy continues to recover despite a surprise slide into recession in the third quarter
- Gains in labour demand have paused, but the job market overall is improving (downgraded its view from last month when it said the labour market is clearly improving)
- “The economy remains in recovery even though consumption and some other parts of the economy are weak”
- Turned a little more cautious about future conditions due to declines in consumer sentiment and cautious business confidence
