Japan's sturdy machinery orders demonstrate companies are ready to spend
In November, Japanese orders for machinery tacked on to their highest value for a decade, thus demonstrating that companies might finally be responding to policymakers' vigorous efforts to get them to spend their huge cash reserves to stimulate economic surge.
The major measure of capital expenditure was rolled out just as the country’s key business lobby urged Japanese businesses to have wages lifted by 3% in approaching annual salary talks with unions, backing the authorities’ efforts to step up inflation.
