Japan Services PMI
The S&P Global Japan Services PMI is a monthly indicator of economic activity in Japan’s service sector, based on survey responses from around 400 companies across industries such as transport, finance, communication, real estate, and business services (excluding retail). Respondents report changes relative to the previous month, and results are presented as diffusion indices, ranging from 0 to 100. An index above 50 signals growth, while below 50 indicates contraction. The main metric is the Services Business Activity Index, reflecting changes in business activity volume and serving as the headline figure. While sometimes called the "Services PMI," it is not directly comparable to the headline Manufacturing PMI, but aligns more closely with the Manufacturing Output Index.
