India, March 10 -- A measure of the public assessment of the current situation of the Japanese economy weakened more-than-expected in February to the lowest level in just over two-and-a-half years, survey data from the Cabinet Office showed on Monday.
The current conditions index of the Economy Watchers' Survey dropped to 45.6 in February from 48.6 in January. Meanwhile, economists had forecast the index to fall slightly to 48.5.
Further, this was the lowest reading since July 2022, when it was 43.6.
Any score below 50 indicates pessimism, while a reading above 50 indicates optimism.
