Mumbai, Feb. 6 -- Japan's leading economic index rose to 110.2 in December 2025, up from 109.9 in November as the preliminary data showed. The reading marked the highest level since May 2024, supported by a sharp improvement in consumer confidence, which climbed to its strongest level since April 2024. Cost pressures continued to ease, falling to their lowest level since March 2022, offering relief to households. While overall consumption slipped in December, it remains in a gradual recovery phase, underpinned by accommodative monetary conditions.
