Output at Japanese manufacturers rose solidly in February, extending the current period of growth to nine months according to PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) survey data issued today. Where a rise in production was signalled, panellists generally attributed this to greater inflows of new orders. Meanwhile, Japan’s industrial output increased for an 11th consecutive month in January, according to statistics released on Friday by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
