The September 2023 Tankan (Short-Term Economic Survey of Enterprises in Japan) showed that, while the diffusion index (DI) for input prices (calculated by deducting the proportion of enterprises answering "fall" from the proportion of those answering "rise") is trending downward, the DI for output prices ("rise" minus "fall") remains high, both for the actual result and the forecast, and the gap between the two is narrowing.
