Statistics for July have revealed that confidence in the economy has declined across Kyushu for the third consecutive month. The government’s “economy watchers” survey announced on August 8 that business confidence throughout Kyushu’s seven prefectures for July was down by 0.8% compared to the previous month. Locals believe that there has been a decrease in consumer activity due to the recent heatwave and extreme weather conditions. Source: Nikkei Shimbun, 8/9/2018
