The Bank of Japan’s latest Tankan survey shows a slight improvement in business sentiment across Kyushu and Okinawa, with the all-industry index rising by two points to +20, marking the first improvement in two quarters. Manufacturing rose by two points to +10, while non-manufacturing increased by three points to +26. However, outlooks for transport machinery, including automobiles, worsened by seven points due to concerns over potential tariffs from the Trump administration, indicating growing caution among related firms in the region.
