What is Tankan Capex?
Tankan Capex is the capital-expenditure plans component of the Bank of Japan's quarterly Tankan survey. It captures Japanese firms' planned investment for the fiscal year, broken down by sector and firm size.
Why it matters for FX
Capex plans are a key Bank of Japan policy input and a meaningful JPY driver around the quarterly Tankan release. Strong capex intentions support a less-dovish BoJ stance, which has been a major JPY swing factor through the YCC exit.
