97% of major companies expect economic expansion

  Last week, I had a conversation with my customer in Osaka and we agreed overall Japanese economy was getting better. Today, I also chatted with a taxi driver in Kobe, and he told me he felt the local economy was improving. (I like to ask taxi drivers about business conditions, because they always have concern about how many "taxi tickets" are used by corporate customers and how often they are taken after the last train. Generally they are good economy wathcers.) I, however, was wondering if only people around me and I felt that way.

  Then, I saw this article on IHT/Asahi today:

97% of major companies expect longest postwar economic expansion

"The companies are growing bullish because of increasing corporate capital investment and rising consumer spending.

Ninety-two (of 100 leading companies) said capital investment in all industries will increase in fiscal 2006 from the previous year.

Twenty-five companies said consumer spending will remain strong for another year, a sharp rise from 11 in the previous survey."

  The fact that 97% of major companies are bullish should not be neglected. Well, it's quite remarkable.

  Isn't it time to sell YOUR products to the buoyant market?
