The sectors most optimistic about recovery are transportation and warehousing at 27.3%, followed by real estate at 25%, and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries at 20%. Despite concerns over labor shortages and high raw material costs, many companies are hopeful due to the expected increase in foreign visitors to Japan and the easing of semiconductor shortages. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiba.jp\/archives\/2024\/date\/january\/8142\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIBA<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159951\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_tenjin-meiji-dori_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kyushu and Okinawa Businesses Anticipate Economic Recovery in 2024\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_tenjin-meiji-dori_2023_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_tenjin-meiji-dori_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_tenjin-meiji-dori_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_tenjin-meiji-dori_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
