TOKYO -- For the fourth consecutive quarter, more than half of Japanese corporate chiefs said the country's economy is expanding, thanks to recovery of inbound tourism and robust capital investment, according to a Nikkei survey.

However, the survey also highlighted top executives' concerns over inflation. In addition, fewer than 20% of companies expected wage increases to outpace rising prices over the medium to long term, highlighting uncertainties about the underlying strength of consumption.
