The Bank of Japan’s Fukuoka branch has maintained its economic assessment for the Kyushu-Okinawa region, stating that the economy is “recovering moderately, though some areas show signs of weakness.” Based on the October Tankan survey, corporate sentiment has improved slightly, and consumer spending remains solid despite rising prices. However, the branch cautioned that future trends will depend on overseas economic developments, rising costs, and wage growth. Source: The Bank of Japan
