Japan Consumer Confidence Rises To 37.9 Beating Forecasts
Japan’s December report shows consumer confidence climbed to 37.9, outpacing both the previous month’s 37.2 and the consensus estimate of 37.6, according to data verified by Japan’s Cabinet Office, Bloomberg, and Reuters. This marks the highest reading since mid-2023 and signals a modest but notable improvement in household sentiment amid ongoing economic challenges. The uptick suggests that Japanese consumers are feeling slightly more optimistic about the economy’s prospects, potentially supporting domestic demand as policymakers monitor inflation and wage growth trends.
