TOKYO: Japan’s consumer confidence slid slightly in May, the government said on Monday, amid prolonged lockdown measures to curb coronavirus infections.
A Cabinet Office survey showed the sentiment index for general households, which includes views on incomes and jobs, was at 34.1 in May, compared with 34.7 in April.
The government downgraded its view on the sentiment index, saying the pace of recovery had slowed.
