  • Japan’s Factory Output Shows Resilience Despite Emergency

    (Bloomberg) -- Japanese factories increased output in January for the first time in three months, signaling the country’s economic recovery is continuing despite a renewed state of emergency to contain the coronavirus.Industrial output rose 4.2% from the previous month, with production of memory chips and semiconductor equipment climbing, the trade ministry reported Friday. Economists had projected a 3.8% overall gain amid rising exports, especially to China.Separate figures showed retail sales fell at less than half the predicted pace in January compared with the prior month. Declines eased in Tokyo consumer prices, a bellwether for national inflation.While the spending drop was far smaller than during a wider-ranging emergency last year, it still underscored a split in the recovery between domestic and export-driven sectors. Since consumer spending accounts for more than half of the economy, a sustained rebound after the emergency requires people to open their purse strings.Key Insights“How much consumption will come back starting in March will hold the key,” said economist Atsushi Takeda at Itochu Research Institute. “I don’t think consumption will be back at full speed as the government is likely to maintain some restrictions with the Olympics nearing.”Japan’s decision to focus its latest emergency advisory on bars and restaurants in major cities is exacting a smaller toll than last spring’s more wide-scale approach. While the economy is seen falling back into contraction this quarter, rising output is likely to offer support to the recovery once the emergency ends.Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will decide as early as today whether to lift the emergency outside the Tokyo region about a week ahead of schedule, a move likely to help spending and sentiment at least marginally. The number of new virus cases in Japan has fallen to a fraction of the peak and last week the country started giving vaccines.High frequency data compiled by Bloomberg Economics shows activity rising in Japan more than in place likes the U.S., the U.K. or Canada.On the manufacturing side, Japan’s production has been helped by a pickup in demand from China, where exports rose last month by the most since 2010. An ongoing global shortage of semiconductors is driving output in electronics but also weighing on the auto industry, a key sector for Japan.What Bloomberg Economics Says...“A smaller-than-expected decline in Tokyo’s core inflation gauge was driven by volatile factors. As such, we don’t expect the reading to have a meaningful implication to the Bank of Japan’s policy review in March.”--Yuki Masujima, economistFor the full report, click here.Get MoreTokyo’s consumer prices excluding fresh food, a leading indicator of nationwide inflation trends, fell at a slightly slower pace of 0.3% in February from a year earlier, according to a separate report from the ministry of internal affairs.Retail sales decreased 2.4% in January compared with a year earlier, better than the 2.6% projected fall by economists.Industrial production is expected to rise 2.1% in February and fall 6.1% in March, according to a ministry survey.(Adds economist’s comments.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • UN sanctions top Houthi police official in Yemen's capital

    The U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions Thursday on a top police security official in Yemen's capital, which is controlled by Houthi rebels, citing his prominent role in intimidations, systematic arrests, detentions, torture, sexual violence “and rape against politically active women.” A resolution adopted by a vote of 14-0 with Russia abstaining said Sultan Saleh Aida Aida Zabin, director of the Criminal Investigation Department in the capital Sanaa, is directly or by virtue of his authority responsible for using multiple places of detention including police stations, prisons and detention centers for human rights abuses. The council said in imposing a travel ban and arms embargo on Zabin that he “engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security and stability of Yemen, including violations of applicable international humanitarian law and human rights abuses in Yemen.”

  • Feds: Bannon's pardon blocks prosecution, but not indictment

    The indictment lodging fraud charges against ex-President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon should not be dismissed despite his pardon, prosecutors told a judge Thursday, citing ill effects an indictment can leave on someone even without a conviction. Prosecutors said Bannon’s lawyer had quietly slipped an email to the judge making the request to dismiss an indictment charging him with defrauding thousands of donors who believed their money would be used to fulfill Trump’s chief campaign promise to build a wall along the southern border. Instead, over a million dollars of the $25 million raised for the “We Build The Wall” campaign was diverted to pay a salary to one campaign official and personal expenses for himself, the indictment alleged.
