For Japan, the BSI is the Business Sentiment Index (BSI)
- measures the level of optimism or pessimism among Japanese businesses about the current and future economic conditions
- published quarterly by the Ministry of Finance
- is based on a survey of over 10,000 Japanese companies
- BSI is calculated using a diffusion index, which, in very brief, calculates the percentage of companies reporting an improvement in business conditions minus the percentage of companies reporting a decline. A positive value indicates that more companies are optimistic about the economic outlook, while a negative value indicates more companies are pessimistic.
- BSI is calculated separately for manufacturing and non-manufacturing
- the manufacturing BSI covers industries such as electronics, machinery, and chemicals, while the non-manufacturing BSI covers industries such as retail, services, and construction.
