The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) compiled a report on economic indices concerning production, private consumption, business investment and other elements for each region in order to ascertain the trends in regional economies across Japan.
With the spread of the novel coronavirus disease, the current economic situation has been changing dramatically. Please note that the economic trends published here are a compilation of statistics for each region as of August 2020.
Key points

Indices of industrial production (seasonally adjusted; month-on-month basis) showed an increase in four regions, e.g., Tokai, Hokuriku and Kyushu (composition ratio of value added: 36.9%), remained the same in one region (the ratio: 16.2%) and showed a decrease in four regions, e.g., Tohoku, Kanto, Shikoku (the ratio: 46.7%).

Sales in the month on a year-on-year basis in six types of business in the retail trade industry showed an increase in six regions, e.g., Kanto, Chubu and Kyushu/Okinawa (composition ratio of value added: 79.3%), and a decrease in two regions (the ratio: 20.7%).
