The tankan, carried out every three months, surveys about 9,000 Japanese companies and measures corporate sentiment by subtracting the number of companies saying business conditions are negative from those saying they are positive.

Basically the obverse of the sentiment from the working public. Who would have thought it?

The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate last month for the first time in 17 years, ending a longstanding policy of negative rates meant to boost the assets of the wealthy.

Fixed. The trickle down fiction of Abenomics will not be true no matter how many times propaganda outlets repeat it.
