TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese business sentiment improved at the fastest pace in nearly two decades in October-December, a key central bank survey showed, a welcome sign for the economy as it emerges from the initial hit of the coronavirus pandemic.

But companies slashed their capital expenditure plans for the year ending March 2021 and a measure of near-term sentiment worsened, as a resurgence of infections reinforces expectations any recovery in the worlds third-largest economy will be fragile.
A stronger-than-expected rebound in factory output mid-year and a recovery in overseas economies, notably China, helped improve manufacturers sentiment, said Yuichi Kodama, chief economist at Meiji Yasuda Research Institute.
But companies likely wont raise capital expenditure much next fiscal year given the renewed rise in COVID-19 cases.
While Japan avoided the high case numbers seen elsewhere when the coronavirus first hit, infections have risen as winter sets in, hitting a daily record on Saturday.
The headline index for big manufacturers sentiment improved to minus 10 in December from minus 27 in September, the Bank of Japans tankan survey showed on Monday, still a negative reading but marking the second straight quarter when companies were less pessimistic about business conditions.
It was better than the minus 15 projected in a Reuters poll and the fastest pace of improvement since 2002, as Japanese car and auto parts makers benefitted from a global rebound in automobile demand, the survey showed.
The tankan indexes are calculated by subtracting the percentage of pessimistic respondents from optimistic ones. A negative figure means pessimists outnumber optimists.
Big non-manufacturers sentiment also improved to minus 5 from minus 12 in September, roughly matching a Reuters poll of minus 6 and improving at the fastest pace since 2010.
A government campaign offering discounts for domestic travel helped lift sentiment among industries ranging from hotels, restaurants and retailers, a BOJ official told a briefing.
But big firms plan to cut capital expenditure by 1.2% in the current business year to March 2021, bigger than market forecasts for a 0.2% drop, the survey showed.
This was a downgrade from September when they planned to raise expenditure by 1.4%, a sign that slumping profits and the pandemics resurgence are making firms wary of boosting spending.
Companies expect recurring profits to fall 35.3% this fiscal year as sales are seen slumping 8.6%, the tankan showed.
An index gauging firms sentiment three months ahead worsened, suggesting that many of them feel conditions wont improve much despite recent progress in vacinne development.
Companies also plan to slash new graduate hiring by 6.1% in the year beginning in April, the survey showed, which would be the most cautious hiring plan since the collapse of Lehman Brothers shook the global economy in 2010.
Uncertainty over the outlook is weighing on companies sentiment, said Yusuke Shimoda, senior economist at Japan Research Institute. Unless people feel safe about going out, it would be difficult for government stimulus measures to yield results.
The data will be among key factors the BOJ will scrutinise at its two-day rate review ending on Friday. The central bank is set to hold off on expanding stimulus, but consider extending a range of steps aimed at easing funding strains.
The government, for its part, announced a fresh $708 billion stimulus package last week to speed up the recovery from the coronavirus-driven slump.
After suffering its worst postwar contraction in the second quarter, Japans economy rebounded in July-September helped by improved exports and consumption. But many analysts expect a third wave of COVID-19 infections to keep any recovery modest.

As of next Wednesday, all non-essential shops, services and schools will close until January 10, and Christmas Day gatherings will be reduced from 10 people to only five from two different households.
The new measures take aim at traditional festivities: Christmas church services will be subject to prior registration with no singing allowed, alcohol is to be banned from all public spaces and an annual New Year's Eve fireworks display will be canceled. Some states are also implementing additional measures, such as Bavaria, which will have a 9 p.m. curfew.
German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz has pledged economic help for all businesses affected by the lockdown.
On Sunday, Germany recorded 20,200 new coronavirus infections -- 2,000 more than Sunday last week -- according to the Robert Koch Institute, the country's agency for disease control. The overall infection number stands at 1,320,716. The death toll rose by 321 to 21,787, data showed.
Earlier in the week, the southwestern state of Baden-Wrttemberg said it was introducing a curfew -- starting on Saturday and lasting until January 10 -- where people will only be allowed to leave the house for work and medical appointments, state premier Winfried Kretschmann said in a press briefing.
Meanwhile, in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, the maximum number permitted to meet in public and private spaces has been reduced from ten people to five people from two households, according to state premier President Daniel Gnther.
In a cabinet meeting on Friday, it was announced the federal state of Thuringia would close retail stories from December 19 and students would shift to online learning from December 21 as part of the new restrictions, while, earlier this week, it was announced German states of Saxony and Bavaria would move to tougher lockdown measures.

Highlights of Emergency Orders with widespread impact:
Case Testing
This chart shows the number of Covid-19 cases for various age groups by month.
Note: within testing, the key metric is the positivity percentage, which is the number of positive cases as a percentage of the number of tests. This is a measure of how fast the virus is spreading within the community. It is important to note that the number of cases is largely a function of the number of tests rather than a measure of how fast the virus is spreading.
Note: within hospitalizations, the key metric is the ratio of occupied beds to total beds, which indicates the percent of occupancy. Also important is the ratio of COVID-19 beds to occupied beds, which measures the mix of COVID and non-COVID patients in hospitals.
The case hospitalization rate (CHR) is a metric for evaluating how much stress a virus puts on hospitals. CHR is calculated as the number of hospitalizations with Covid-19 divided by the number of confirmed cases for a particular population in a particular geographic area. This chart breaks down the CHR by a number of age groups to highlight the fact that COVID-19 is far more dangerous for the elderly. These statistics are calculated by the developers of this website using daily Covid-19 Caseline Data published by the Florida Dept. of Health.
This chart shows how many Palm Beach County residents and nonresidents in various age groups have been hospitalized with COVID-19. These statistics are calculated by the developers of this website using daily Covid-19 Caseline Data published by the Florida Dept. of Health.
This chart shows the case hospitalization rates (CHRs) for various age groups by month, starting with March 2020. The information in this chart indicates that CHRs have declined dramatically from the March and April highs. CHRs for the current month are preliminary and will rise as additional current-month hospitalizations are reported to the Florida Dept. of Health. These statistics are calculated by the developers of this website using daily Covid-19 Caseline Data published by the Florida Dept. of Health
This chart shows how many Palm Beach County residents and nonresidents in various age groups have been hospitalized with COVID-19 during each month beginning with March 2020 These statistics are calculated by the developers of this website using daily Covid-19 Caseline Data published by the Florida Dept. of Health.
The case fatality rate (CFR) is a key metric for evaluating how lethal is a virus. CFR is calculated as the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases for a particular population in a particular geographic area. This chart breaks down the CFR by a number of age groups to highlight the fact that COVID-19 is far more lethal for the elderly. These statistics are calculated by the developers of this website using daily Covid-19 Caseline Data published by the Florida Dept. of Health.
