About Japan Non-Manufacturing PMI
In Japan, the quarterly Tankan Survey of Business Conditions for Large Non-Manufacturers covers about 1,050 companies with capital over 1 billion Yen, operating in the non-manufacturing sector. The survey is done by mail or e-mail and asks participants to evaluate current trends and conditions in the business place and their respective industries as well as their expected business activities for the next quarter and year. The indicator is calculated by subtracting the percentage share of enterprises responding on the negative side from the share giving positive assessments. The index varies on a scale of -100 to 100 such that a value above zero indicates business optimism, a value below zero pessimism and 0 indicates neutrality.
