TOKYO—Sentiment among large Japanese manufacturers rose to the highest level since March 2022 during the three months to December, supported by a sharp recovery in the auto sector.
The main index for sentiment among large manufacturers was +12, compared with +9 in September, according to the Bank of Japan’s quarterly Tankan corporate survey released Wednesday. That was higher than economists’ forecast for +10 and marked the third straight quarter of improvements.
