Economists: The short-term survey of the Bank of Japan is expected to show robust capital expenditure plans.

Sina Finance reported on March 31st that Zhongshan Xing, an economist at Gangsan Securities, said that the Tankan survey of the Bank of Japan scheduled to be released on Wednesday is expected to show that Japanese business will continue to plan capital expenditure in the new fiscal year ending in March 2027, with the scale roughly equivalent to historical average levels. Zhongshan Xing said that a strong investment willingness may be supported by strong corporate profits, demand for labor-saving and automation technology, and research and development (R&D) expenditures. R&D expenditures often remain resilient and unaffected by the business cycle.
