Capacity Utilization
The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry releases the Capacity Utilization indicator which reflects the percentage of production capacity used in the short-term. This is an important measure of growth and demand in the Japanese economy. High capacity utilization can stimulate inflationary pressures. It's generally viewed as positive for the JPY if high, and negative if low.
