Description

The indicator represents the change in the number of new residential buildings that began construction. It's a leading indicator of economic health because building construction produces a wide-reaching ripple effect. For example, jobs are created for the construction workers, subcontractors and inspectors are hired, and various construction services are purchased by the builder.

Effect of market

In spite of its high economic significance, the indicator causes moderate influence over the Yen dynamics.
