Japan's factory output rose by 1.4% in September, surpassing expectations due to a recovery in car production, despite being down 2.8% year-on-year. Retail sales also fell 2.3% from August, reflecting ongoing economic challenges. Analysts note that uncertainties in overseas markets, particularly in China, could impact future production. As the government plans a larger economic stimulus and the Bank of Japan monitors inflation closely, the overall economic outlook remains cautious.
