Pyongyang, April 23 (KCNA) -- Japanese consumer confidence plunged in March from a month earlier as the devastating impact of the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and ongoing nuclear crisis weighed heavily on the nation's economic outlook, a Cabinet Office report showed Tuesday. According to the government report, consumer sentiment among households made up of two or more people, which includes views on incomes and jobs, fell from 41.2 in February to 38.6 in March, marking the index's lowest level since June 2009. |
