اليابان مؤشر المؤشرات القيادية

Japan’s leading economic indicators index, which gauges the economic outlook for the coming months based on data such as job offers and consumer sentiment, was revised higher to 108.3 in January 2025 from preliminary estimates of 108.0. However, the latest reading remained the highest since last October, rising from 107.9 in December 2024, as annual household spending rose for the second consecutive month, despite easing from December 2024 levels. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate inched up to 2.5% in January, with employment showing a moderate upward trend to a new high. On the other hand, consumer sentiment weakened to its lowest level since March 2023.
